Episode 37 - Fouad Fakhouri - Conductor and Composer - a podcast by Thor Rasmussen

Today we have the honor of hearing from conductor and composer Fouad Fakhouri

Lauded for his “musical accuracy” and “emotional intensity,” he has earned a reputation for his dynamic artistry behind the podium. Fakhouri goes beyond the score to capture both the essence and spirit of the music, delivering powerful interpretations and inspired symphonic performances.

On Saturday January 29, Maestro Fakhouri will present the world premiere of KRUPA with the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra at the historic Temple Theatre in Downtown Saginaw. This piece will be followed by concertmaster Eliot Heaton as the soloist in the brilliant Violin Concerto by 20th-century Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. The evening concludes with César Franck’s Symphony in D minor. Franck wrote his only symphony towards the end of his life only because his students persuaded him. This Romantic work is by turns brooding, beatific, explosive, and finally triumphant.
