Win tickets to Fresno Philharmonic’s Copland concert

Here’s your chance to experience the Fresno Philharmonic’s search for a new conductor. I have three pairs of tickets to give away to the 3 p.m. Sunday concert at the Saroyan Theatre. Aram Demirjian, the fourth of six finalists competing for the music director job, will conduct a program that includes Mozart’s “Overture to Don Giovanni,” music from Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8.

Guest soloist is Anthony McGill, principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, who will perform on Copland’s Clarinet Concerto.

You can read my recap on Demirjian in Friday’s Seven section.

Your ticket also will let you into the 2 p.m. “Inside the Music” program, in which Demirjian will talk a little about himself and the program.

Here’s how the giveaway will work: Enter by leaving a comment on this story. You have until 4 p.m. Thursday to enter. Winners will be chosen at random and notified via Facebook message.
