Two masterpieces are featured in this concert by maverick composers. First, Poulenc’s Sinfonietta is a delightful and brilliant work of contrasts and beauty, with a musical language at once accessible yet uniquely Poulenc.

Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto pushed the boundaries of the Classical concerto and influenced the style and form for centuries. This piece goes beyond the traditional feature of a soloist with orchestra accompaniment and becomes a musical statement of heroic achievement. Be sure to hear our conductor’s pre-concert lecture as he shares insights on how these works are truly maverick masterpieces.

Ages 18 and under plus the adult who brings them are free.
