Internationally celebrated Yi-Jia Susanne Hou (full name pronunciation: YEE-ja Susanne HOW) returns to Thunder Bay for an awe-inspiring performance of Édouard Lalo’s dramatic Symphonie espagnole, and the TBSO celebrates Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’ 150th birthday with rousing performances of Finlandia and his Second Symphony. Ms. Hou was last on stage with the TBSO in 2013, with a captivating performance of Aram Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto – at which she received an enthusiastic standing ovation after only the first movement (there are three movements).
