You will experience:
Mozart's ever-popular clarinet concerto, performed by Jill Nagode.
Gary Kuo's tender tribute in honor of his mother, "In Remembrance."
Pictures at an Exhibition, one of the masterpieces of classical music, recreates a walk through the gallery of Modest Mussorgsky's friend Viktor Hartmann shortly after his sudden death.
Plus, join our conductor Jeremy 30 minutes prior to each performance for a pre-concert talk about the music you will hear.
