Join us as we open our concert season with music full of love in all its many moods. We begin with Leonard Bernstein’s joyful Candide Overture, brimming with bright,
energetic exuberance. The music of French composer Gabriel Fauré captures the tragic love story of Pelléas and Mélisande. Finally, Johannes Brahms’ sunny second symphony surrounds us with music full of passionate expression and unrestrained joy.
Note that the evening concert will begin at 8:15 p.m. (15 minutes later than usual, and no Prelude talk this time; doors open at 8 p.m.).
