Fraser Valley Symphony Celebrates 35th Anniversary Season! SCHUBERT AND REINECKE – with Mark Anderson, Piano Abbotsford, BC – May 12, 2019 – The Fraser Valley Symphony is excited to present the grand finale concert of the 35th Anniversary Season on Sunday, June 2, 2019. This final concert brings together works of great intensity and passion. Internationally acclaimed recording artist Mark Anderson returns to the FVS stage to perform a hidden gem, the beautiful and technically dazzling Piano Concerto No. 1 by Carl Reinecke. Embracing this work are Schubert’s tempestuous overture to Des Teufels Lustschloss and the ever popular dramatic and lyrical melodies of his Symphony No. 8, “The Unfinished.” Pianist Mark Anderson’s recordings and performances as recitalist, soloist and chamber musician have met with wide critical acclaim. In recital, Anderson has appeared in concert venues throughout Europe and the United States. Mr. Anderson, a Steinway artist, records exclusively with Nimbus Records and has released recordings of works by Liszt, Schumann, Brahms and Dohnanyi, Copland and Gershwin, Mussorgsky and Stravinsky. Mark Anderson teaches at the University of British Columbia School of Music and performs with his piano-duo/duet and life partner Canadian pianist Michelle Mares. Founded in 1984, the FVS is comprised of musicians from Abbotsford and surrounding communities and is the premier community orchestra of the Fraser Valley Region.
