Tricks & Treats - Normal

Step into a world of tricks, treats, and musical storytelling. From the enchanted chaos of Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice and the adventurous spirit of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 to the irreverent humor of Strauss' Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, this concert brings some of classical music's most vivid tales to life. The evening's crowning treat is Prokofiev's lyrical Violin Concerto No. 1, featuring virtuosic violinist Claire Wells. Don't miss out of our opening concert of the 2026-2027 season!
