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.
