Bold Beginnings

October 2nd & 3rd

Sponsored by KEET

Join us for an opening night that sets the tone for an unforgettable season – bold, expressive, and full of life.

The program begins with Finlandia by Jean Sibelius – a powerful, stirring journey of national pride and defiance.

Next, Ethel Smyth’s Concerto for Violin, Horn and Orchestra offers a rare and compelling centerpiece, featuring violinist Terrie Baune and hornist Melissa Robinson in an unforgettable musical conversation between two virtuoso soloists.

The evening closes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2. Brimming with humor, vitality and invention, this symphony captures Beethoven emerging greatness – playful, daring and unmistakably original.
