Once upon a time, there were two Russian composers. One came from a tradition of the Tsar, composing music to the age old tale of Scheherazade. While the other learned to write music that featured the tale of Peter and the Wolf. Rimsky-Korsakov and Prokofiev team up in this concert to tell Tales from Russia from their music.

The name that says it all - Beethoven! Our 2021/2022 season closes with Beethoven's epic Symphony No. 5 in C minor. This symphony has stood the test of time because its sounds begin with struggle and end in triumph. Ludwig van Beethoven gives us good over evil and everything in between.

Mozart's Symphony No. 38 was called, "Prague", simply because it premiered there. Dvořák, a native of the Czech Lands, composed most of his nine symphonies there. Symphony No. 8 by Antonin Dvořák is full of Czech folk song and memorable melodies. It's a tasty snack for your ears!
