An evening of exhilarating energy and lush, stunning melodies awaits as the orchestra brings iconic masterpieces to life. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto amazes with virtuosic fire and soul-stirring melodies, setting the stage for the glittering charm of Strauss’ Rosenkavalier waltzes — pure elegance with a playful twist. Then, Ravel’s La Valse sweeps you into a whirlwind of dazzling orchestration, where a waltz starts with grace and spirals into something wild, hypnotic, and outright thrilling.
It’s classical music at its most dynamic — dramatic, dazzling, irresistible.
