UPCOMING EVENTS
Debussy’s La Mer
February 27-28, 2026
Dive into a program where the sea meets romance in waves of musical brilliance. Debussy’s La mer gives the sea a voice as it conjures waves, winds, and the shimmering play of light on water. Opening the program, discover Arnold Bax’s Tintagel, which brings to life the crashing waves and eerie beauty of a legendary castle perched by the sea.
Then, be swept off your feet with Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1, full of flirtatious energy. Debussy’s Petite Suite will transport you to a world of aristocratic leisure with its whimsical charm, flowing rhythms, and ripples of a grand dance.
Respighi’s The Pines of Rome
March 27-28, 2026
Be transported through lush landscapes with Respighi’s The Pines of Rome. From playful moments in the Villa Borghese, to the moonlit serenity of the Janiculum, to the mystical sounds of the Appian Way at dawn, this is a captivating journey among the iconic pine trees of the Eternal City.
Strauss’ opera Der Rosenkavalier was all the rage in early 20th-century Vienna, and the suite captures its romance, humor, and memorable musical moments. Pablo Ferrández takes center stage in Korngold’s Cello Concerto, a cinematic love story originally written for film, followed by Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme, a graceful theme and variations to showcase the cellist’s virtuosity.
