Daniel Hege will have his hands full with Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Classical," Vaughan Williams' Tuba Concerto in F Minor with Houston Symphony tuba virtuoso David Kirk, Barber's Overture to The School for Scandal, Sibelius' Pohjola's Daughter and Debussy's La mer. Titled "International Tour" — the concert explores sounds from Russian, English, American, Finnish and French origins — the program is by no means a walk in the park. In fact, expect this rep to test the technical fitness of the wind section and strings in the Prokofiev and Barber.

An outdoor bash at UH's Jane Blaffer Owen Plaza before the concert will rally audiences with al fresco chamber music and jazz, with a side of nibbles from Bare Bowls Kitchen and The Goodie Box local food trucks.
