ECHOES OF THE CLASSICAL AGE
Music often moves forward by looking back. In her sparkling Concerto for String Orchestra, composer Grażyna Bacewicz channels the rhythmic vitality and clarity of Baroque traditions through a modern lens. The evening also features Laurentia Woo (violin), the Gold Medal Winner of the Stulberg International String Competition, bringing youthful brilliance to a concerto from the Classical era. The program closes with Franz Schubert’s graceful Fifth Symphony, an affectionate homage to Mozart’s elegance and clarity.

Program Schedule
A free 30-minute pre-concert conversation with Maestro Matthew Aubin that delves into the concert’s featured musical works and composers. Affectionately called in-house as “Matt Chats,” these short sessions always enhance the evening’s experience for concert-goers. This special feature is available prior to each classical concert.
Musicians will already be on stage making a flurry of sound as they fine tune instruments and warm up with last minute practice of musical snippets or scales.
Signaling the start of the concert, a representative from the Symphony will come out on stage to welcome and greet our guests and thank our sponsors and supporters before turning the stage over to our Concertmaster, Musicians, and Conductor.
