The thrill of hearing beautiful melodies and harmonies woven together by talented musicians is an experience like no other.”
The program includes three masterpieces in classical music – a lush, romantic performance of Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique. Australian born French Horn player Andrew Bain, current principal horn of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will join the symphony and perform Eric Ewazen’s brilliant and virtuosic Concerto for Horn and String Orchestra. “From the moment the music starts, you’ll be swept away on a journey that will transport you to new heights of excitement and joy,” said Music Director, Troy Quinn.
