Overview:


Enjoy the sophistication and charm of Mozart’s Symphony No. 38. One of Mozart’s final orchestral masterpieces, this symphony opens with a dramatic slow introduction before bursting into a spirited main theme— one that foreshadows the beloved Overture to The Magic Flute. The middle movement offers a moment of deep beauty and reflection, leading to a lively finale.

Also savor the timeless beauty of Copland’s Clarinet Concerto, a work commissioned by jazz legend Benny Goodman and performed by our principal clarinetist. The concerto opens with one of Copland’s most lyrical and heartfelt melodies before transforming into an electrifying, jazz-infused finale— complete with glissandos and smears.

The brilliance of our horn section will be showcased as they take center stage in Haydn’s Concerto for Two Horns and Orchestra—a captivating work that stands as a landmark in brass repertoire. With its exhilarating runs and elegant melodies, this piece showcases the horn’s remarkable virtuosity and expressive range.
