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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					featured guest				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									Laurentia Woo\, violinStuhlberg Gold Medalist 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					tickets				\n				\n				\n				\n									General AdmissionSingle Tickets on Sale Aug 1Adult – $33.75 | Youth* – $17.00 Processing fees included in price.Discounts available. *Youth – ages 6-17 years 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Get Tickets				\n				\n				\n				\n									SAT.
