The attending audience was filled with anticipation and reveled in the sonorous sounds that filled the Orpheum Theatre.

to the symphony and audiences. He has conducted in Canada, the Netherlands,
USA, Germany and Denmark. Tausk has numerous acclaimed classical recordings to note including Tonhalle SinfonieorchesterSt. Gallen (Korngold and Diepenbrock), BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (Mendelssohn) and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra (Gavin Bryars).
