March's Concert Theme: Paris in the Spring


Mozart's elegant "Paris" Symphony and Schumann's expressive "Spring" Symphony naturally suggest our March concert theme.  

The soloist for New Music Advisor David Ludwig's new bassoon concerto-- intriguingly titled "Pictures from the Floating World"--is one of the principal bassoonists of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (having won the position two years ago fresh out of music school). There is a French connection here as well: Ludwig's piece invokes the Japanese art prints that fascinated Debussy.

Performance Dates:

Saturday, March 14th at 8 pm
Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, Burlington

Sunday, March 15th at 3 pm
Paramount Theatre, Rutland

Monday, March 16th at 7 pm
Latchis Theatre, Brattleboro

Additionally, we are very excited to be back at the newly renovated Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro! Any southern Vermont fans should consider coming to the performance in this historic building.
