C’est Magnifique!
Just say “Oui!” as the Fifth Anniversary Season kicks off with a magnificent mix of classical music by favorite French and Finnish composers. Enjoy Debussy’s Prelude A L’apres Midi D’un Faune, a very beautiful piece of impressionism inspired by a poem by Mallarme, and Poulenc's Sinfonietta, a bright, cheerful mix of dance and cabaret influences that captures the spirit of Paris. And for the bold finish, something Finnish - the Symphony no. 6 by Sibelius.

A Night at the Movies II
It’s a fun-filled movie adventure for the whole family as the orchestra performs the musical
score LIVE while you watch the action on screen. Back by popular demand, silent movies
that are anything but quiet when the orchestra gets a hold of them:
WATCH! The antics and exploits of Greta Garbo and Buster Keaton.
LISTEN! To the orchestra mock and maneuver, echo and enhance the action.
No dialogue necessary!
Plus! The winner of our Fifth annual Young Musician’s Competition
will perform with the symphony.
