📚✨ Music Inspired by Literary Giants ✨🎶

Celebrating Our 10th Anniversary Season

Free • All Ages Welcome

As we mark a decade of bringing orchestral music to our community, we invite you to step into a concert where stories rise from the page and unfold in sound. This program honors the imagination, courage, and timeless beauty found in the world’s great literature—brought to life through the colors and power of a full symphony orchestra.

🎼 Program

• Holst — Walt Whitman Overture in D Major: a luminous tribute to the poet of expansive horizons.

• Tchaikovsky — Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture: passion and fate intertwined in one of music’s most unforgettable love themes.

• Alan Menken — Aladdin Suite: sparkling adventure filled with wonder, magic, and myth.

• Selections from Les Misérables — arr. Lowden: music of hope, resilience, and the enduring human spirit.

• Howard Shore — The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Symphonic Suite: an epic journey begins—mystery, courage, and fellowship in every phrase.

Join us as we celebrate ten seasons of music, community, and storytelling.

Walk with us through worlds of poetry, romance, fantasy, and heroism—and let the orchestra carry you from the shores of Whitman’s America to Verona, Paris, Agrabah, and the Shire.

A concert for readers, dreamers, families, and all who believe in the power of a story well told. ✨
