Monumental Elegance
November 7 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
A knockout punch of symphonic music elevates the thrill of hearing MSO live – from the spell-binding allure of Weber’s Oberon Overture to the colorful, enticing blast of Walker’s Trombone Concerto featuring the bright talent of MSO Principal Trombone Jude Morris. Plus Brahms’ monumental and much-requested Symphony No. 4, with its profound depth and haunting beauty, stands among the 19th century’s greatest masterpieces.
