PAST CONCERTS

Tchaik Strikes!     November 18-19, 2022

The season premieres with a big and bold program. The concert opens with the Overture from Ruslan and Ludmila by Mikhail Glinka, one of the great overtures in opera. The program also features Paul Hindemith’s powerful Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes by Carl Maria von Weber, later adapted by George Balanchine for the ballet Metamorphoses. The final work is Piotr Tchaikovsky’s epic Symphony No. 4 in D minor, a very personal symphony and one to be heard live in the concert hall.  Concert Sponsor: The Evelyn E. Cerny Charitable Fund of Gulf Coast Community Foundation.
