“The music of the people is like a rare and lovely flower growing amidst encroaching weeds.” – Dvorak

A feisty overture, a virtuosic and intriguing

flute concerto give room to the grand finale of another exciting season. The passionate, melancholic at times

and exuberant Symphony No. 5 by Tchaikovsky has all the perfect ingredients to be called a masterpiece! The famous haunting melody of the beginning will develop into a triumphant one after going through so many fantastic transformations that you will want to ask for more at the end of the piece!

Reuben Councill, our principal Flautist, will be featured in the Flute Concerto.
