We begin our 75th Anniversary Season heading back to school. From Brahms’s musical thank you for receiving an honorary degree to the piece Puccini wrote for his college graduation, we salute music learning and accomplishments. We will also present the world premiere of Matthew Kennedy’s Symphony No. 2 and conclude with Respighi’s powerful Pines of the Appian Way.
Admission is by season membership or individual concert ticket ($15) available for purchase at the door.
Students & children (with an adult) are always welcomed free of charge at Symphony performances.
