Start the 2025/26 season right with a journey from Elegance to Decadence. First, enjoy the beautiful Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune by Debussy. Inspired by a poem which translates to Afternoon of a Fawn, it spotlights the fine first flute of the Philharmonic. Next, experience firsthand the then (1924) controversial pantomime by Bartok, The Miraculous Mandarin Suite. The evening finishes with Brahms’ only Violin Concerto, considered one of the greatest of all time, featuring the talented soloist James Ehnes.
