SAINT-SAENS Concerto for Cello No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 33

20 minute intermission

DEBUSSY: La Mer

RAVEL: Bolero

Vivez la magie! This concert will take you on a sublime musical journey to France. You’ll bathe in the sensuous instrumental colors of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and the composer’s most famous work—Bolero.

Celebrated cellist Nicholas Canellakis joins the orchestra for Saint-Saëns' enduring concerto, which offers both sweeping lyrical melodies and bravura fireworks.

In La Mer, Debussy explores the variety of emotion reflected in the sea's current. Part symphony and part tone poem, this work is one of the most influential pieces of the 20th century and has been as an audience favorite for more than a hundred years.
