Languid and sensual, suggesting the erotic reveries of a faun, the half-man, half-goat of Greek mythology.

“A celebration of life … and an explosion of happiness.” – Ingrid Fliter

Moody, foreboding; it captures the ocean at dawn, on Sunday morning, under moonlight and during a storm.

Vivid and imaginative. As a young boy, Debussy’s parents had wanted him to join the French Navy; instead, he captured his impressions of the ever-changing sea in this work.

Samaagam means “confluence”; Western and Indian musical streams merge to propel this heartfelt, emotive work.

Sumptuous and brilliant; like its fabled heroine from One Thousand and One Nights, Scheherazade captivates with tales of adventure and romance.

Sassy, comedic and very British; in its debut, poet Edith Sitwell sat behind a screen and recited her poems set to music through a megaphone, scandalizing the audience.

Warm and tender; its sublime, melancholy Adagio speaks of heartbreak and acceptance.

Mozart’s second-to-last symphony crackles with a powerful dramatic tension, a musical “appeal to eternity” as his life was cut short.

Whimsical, sparkling, emotional—was more joyous music ever put to paper? Closes with the famous Wedding March, which in its full orchestral form is a marvel.

The superlatives rack up when describing this glorious work: stunning, titanic, sweeping—even sweetly intimate in spots. A perfect conclusion to the season.
