Symphonic Poetry:

Rossini, Sibelius, Wagner and Schubert

Experience the poetic voices of these four musical geniuses.  Beginning with Rossini’s energetic overture to the opera La cambiale di matrimonio, the program continues with Sibelius’ deeply introspective Valse triste and Wagner’s Siegfried’s Idyll, a touching birthday gift to his wife Cosima.  We conclude with Schubert’s 5th Symphony, a delightful blend of Romantic melody and harmony.
