MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine will be a featured soloist with the San Diego Symphony on April 12th. The classical special concert, billed as Symphony Interrupted, will take place at Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego, California.

Speaking about the upcoming event with UTSanDiego's George Varga, Mustaine states: "People don’t have to come in tank tops and flip-flops, or anything like that. But it is going to be kind of a dark program, as far as — not like evil, or anything like that, but just really intense music. So it’s still all open for discussion.”

Mustaine previously checked in with the following: “My trusty warhorse and I are off to start the Symphony Interrupted rehearsal.”

Ken-David Masur, Grammy-nominated producer and associate conductor of the San Diego Symphony, and Ann Spira Campbell, deputy general director of the San Diego Opera, spoke to the Valley News about Symphony Interrupted.

Masur said “We will perform the Roman Carnival overture by BERLIOZ to set (Mustaine) up as a soloist, and he will come out like all the other great soloists in the world come up on stage, and then we will perform VIVALDI’s Four Seasons. It was clear to me that (Mustaine) sees himself as a musician in the whole sense and actually it’s been also very humbling that he would like to perform with the symphony.”

Campbell said: “When I met Dave in person I saw the most talented, incredible human being – someone with 5 million Facebook followers who appeals to a younger generation. You have a real leader here – someone the younger generation looks up to as an edgy artist. To be a draw for the younger generation is too beautiful of a storm to pass up."
