MODESTO, CA - The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will present a virtual recital featuring MSO Concertmaster Dan Flanagan and hosted by Associate Conductor Ryan Murray on Wednesday, August 26 at 7:00 pm. The live performance will feature a variety of works for violin by Bach and Strauss and will also feature some of Flanagan’s own compositions. 

This will be the second free virtual event that the MSO has presented since being offstage due to the current pandemic. This recital, along with future virtual events, will be shown live on the MSO’s YouTube channel, and a recording will be available to watch at ModestoSymphony.org. The MSO’s virtual events are free of charge to help bring music to everyone in the community. 

“We are excited to feature our Concertmaster Dan Flanagan in this month’s recital,” said Caroline Nickel, President and CEO of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. “Last month’s recital was a great reminder of how music can connect us all, even if it’s through a virtual setting. We can’t wait to hear Dan again after all these months and he’s really looking forward to playing for an audience and reconnecting with the community.”
