The 3,200 complimentary tickets for the show were distributed in three hours.“If you could have heard the dead silence when Leonard Slatkin took the platform during rehearsals, you would know what his presence means to the students,” said Tom Wieligman, executive administrator of instrumental ensembles and special performance activity. “To have artists of this stature stop what they’re doing and come to Bloomington is a real treat.”The first half of the program will feature Beethoven’s “Overture to Egmont, Op. 84” and Paul Hindemith’s “Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes by Carl Maria von Weber,” Wieligman said. The entire second half of the program will feature John Corigliano’s “Concerto for Violin and Orchestra” (“The Red Violin Concerto”), during which Bell will perform for his first concert as an IU faculty member.
