Event Guide
This concert program is divided into two halves separated by an intermission.
12:00 PM | Pre-Concert Talk: Attend this 30-minute conversation held one hour before the show. It's a great way to go "behind the curtain" and learn more about the music you will hear.
1:00 PM | Masterworks Concert - First Half:
The afternoon begins with two notable works:
Eunike Tanzil: Ascending Creatures - A short, modern piece meant to sound like a flock of birds in flight.
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4 - Experience a beautiful and poetic conversation between the solo pianist (Jean-Baptiste Doulcet) and the orchestra.
2:00 PM | Intermission: Enjoy a brief 20-minute break to stretch or get refreshments.
2:20 PM | Masterworks Concert - Second Half:
The entire second half of the performance is dedicated to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's epic masterpiece, Scheherazade.
This orchestral suite musically tells the enchanting stories from One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights). The solo violin represents the voice of Queen Scheherazade herself, using the power of storytelling to stay alive.
3:00 PM | Conclusion: The afternoon concludes as the final majestic movements finish.
