Cellist Matt Haimovitz is one of the featured musicians for the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra's season-opening concert this Saturday, "The Dream of America." He will perform Golijov's "Azul" alongside the orchestra, hyper-accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman and percussionists Eugene Koshinski and Tim Broscious.
