MEGADETH mainman
Dave Mustaine will be a featured soloist with the
San Diego Symphony in April, 2014 in a program that will include
Wagner's
"Ride Of The Valkyries" from
"Die Walküre",
Vivaldi's
"Winter" from
"The Four Seasons" and
Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 (the "New World" symphony).
Executive director
Edward "Ward" Gill said it's all about reaching new audiences, while music director
Jahja Ling said he had a good meeting with
Mustaine, and he may conduct the concert himself (no conductor is listed at this point, and
Mustaine's exact involvement is still being worked out).
MEGADETH's new album,
"Super Collider", is scheduled for a June release via
Mustaine's new label,
Tradecraft, which is distributed by
Universal Music Enterprises(
UMe).
Mustaine sang the very last note on the album on March 13 at his
Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos, California. Horn player
Bob Findley — who previously appeared on the track
"Silent Scorn" from
MEGADETH's 2001 CD,
"The World Needs A Hero" — is a featured guest on the song
"A House Divided" on the new album.
