Lucerne Festival Strings to open Symphony Season

FALLBROOK — Fallbrook Music Society’s (FMS) 2008-2009 Symphony Season opens with the superb artistry of Lucerne Festival Strings from Switzerland.

“I’m really looking forward to this season,” says FMS President Brenda Montiel. “It is an energizing combination of old and new, familiar and unfamiliar; a season of landmark debuts and anticipated return appearances.”

The orchestra’s Fallbrook performance is part of its fall United States tour, which includes concerts in Princeton, NJ, and Washington, DC.

This internationally renowned ensemble has been regarded as one of the world’s leading chamber ensembles, regularly performing in European music centers and throughout the world.

This performance is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Western States Arts Federation.
