![“This final concert is going to be very near and dear to my heart but also something that really shows off the orchestra. The Haydn is special. It’s his last symphony [Symphony No. 104], and he probably knew it was going to be his last symphony. For me, Haydn makes the world whole. And I thought, ‘OK, this is a good piece to end my career at Caltech with.’ It's a piece with a great sense of harmony in it. In the slow movement, Haydn seems to deliberately lose his way. He veers off into very strange harmonic territory. And it stops, and it tries to get back on track, and it does get back on track. So, it's very subtly poignant.” Allen Robert Gross is director of the Caltech Orchestra. In honor of his retirement after 36 years, the orchestra will present two performances on May 25 at 8 p.m. and 26 at 3:30 p.m. in Ramo Auditorium. The events are free and open to the public.
