Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Overture to Magic Flute

Felix Mendelssohn Concerto for Violin and Piano

Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 5

It’s an evening of musical magic, drama, and destiny. Start with one of the most famous pieces in all of opera: a whimsical and sparkling piece of music of fantastical creatures, noble princes, and queens of the night. Then, Felix Mendelssohn’s rarely heard Concerto for Violin and Piano: a beautiful work where the violin and piano don’t just accompany each other—they are equal partners in a musical journey.

We close the evening with a piece of music so famous it needs no introduction: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. From those four famous opening notes—the sound of fate knocking at the door—this symphony is a journey from struggle to triumph. It’s a testament to the indomitable human spirit and an experience you have to hear live to truly appreciate.

†Elliott Carter Sound Fields

†John Coltrane, arr. David Balakrishnan A Love Supreme

†Aaron Copland Suite from Appalachian Spring

Have you ever wondered what the great composers would talk about if they all got together for dinner? This program is that conversation, spanning centuries and musical styles but united by wit, charm, and genius. First it’s Mozart’s radiant Symphony No. 29, a piece written when he was just 18 years old, yet full of a joyful energy and sophisticated elegance that will simply take your breath away.

Next, you’ll hear Haydn’s lively Sinfonia Concertante: a delightful piece that puts our own musicians (a violin, cello, oboe, and bassoon) at the heart of the action. You’ll hear them “talk” to each other and to the orchestra, passing melodies back and forth. Then, we go to the 20th century: Stravinsky, known for his revolutionary music, turned to the great Baroque composers for inspiration and created a piece that is as witty, surprising, and full of life as the legendary gardens it was named for.
