Then, hang on to your hats with Boyer’s exciting Fanfare, Hymn, and Renewal and prepare to be amazed when Viet Cuong’s Re(new)al rides in with a bold, high-energy new piece performed by the fantastic Sandbox Percussion Ensemble.

TUNE IN for a night of mystery, intrigue, and spectacular beauty. Stravinsky’s Petrushka unravels a dark tale of manipulation and
jealousy with an ill-fated puppet whose desperate fight for love ends in tragedy. Reena Esmail’s ReMember weaves together powerful
themes of identity and connection, blending Eastern and Western influences in a stunning musical tapestry. And join us in welcoming to the stage rising star Aubree Oliverson on Tchaikovsky’s virtuosic, passionate, and beguiling Violin Concerto. This will be a night to remember!
