Join us as we celebrate 15 incredible years of music-making with a program bursting with color, energy, and heart. We open with the sweeping power and soul of Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.” You’ll love the sparkling brilliance and wit of Bernstein’s Candide Overture, followed by Jennifer Higdon’s shimmering soundscape blue cathedral. We’ll finish with the irresistible rhythms of Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, a piece guaranteed to send you out dancing.
This concert is a celebration of our favorite works from our first 15 years, the joy of performing together, and you – the incredible community that’s grown around our music. We hope you’ll join us!
