The Arizona Symphony Orchestra presents its spring concert under the baton of music director
 Thomas Cockrell. The program features works of three Austrian composers: Anton Webern's
 "Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 10," Franz Schreker's Chamber Symphony and 
Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 9, "Great."

The Arizona Symphony, The University of Arizona's pre-professional orchestral 
ensemble, performs challenging concert programs and collaborates frequently
 with the The University of Arizona Opera Theatre and School of Dance productions. Conductor Thomas 
Cockrell has served as the Nelson Riddle Endowed Chair in Music, director of
 orchestral activities and music director of the UA Opera Theatre since 2000. In
 2007 he was named the director of the James E. Rogers Institute for Orchestral
 and Opera Conducting, a bold new comprehensive leadership program for advanced 
conductors.
