Orchestral Excerpt Insights: Höskuldsson Plays Rossini

CSO Principal Flute Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson guides listeners through his interpretation of the famous melodies from Rossini's William Tell Overture and shares his wisdom about how to prepare these multifaceted orchestral excerpts. “Auditions are difficult because of the context they're in," he says. "However, it's still all about music and playing for people and inspiring people. So know your material inside out, backwards and forwards - then take the stage like a star.”
