Program

Join us to celebrate in style as our 75th year officially begins in 2022! This program kicks off with musical fireworks and brass fanfares a-plenty, courtesy of Shostakovich’s quite breathtakingly exciting Festive Overture. Award-winning Romanian pianist Alexandra Dariescu joins us for Rachmaninoff’s stirring and romantic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. The program concludes with Bartók’s beloved Concerto for Orchestra—which showcases every section of the Symphony. Its boisterous folk tunes will keep you partying well beyond the concert!
