Mozart & Schumann's Romantic Rhenish

About this event

Two DSO musicians step into the spotlight in a program of grace, elegance, and joy. Fanny Mendelssohn’s Overture—her only purely orchestral work—is paired with Robert Schumann’s “Rhenish” symphony, music alive with optimism, fire and a deep sacred glow. Flutist Hannah Hammel Maser and harpist Alyssa Katahara are soloists in Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp. | Join us for a pre-concert talk 1 hour before most performances. Pre-concert Talk Join us one hour prior to most classical performances for a 30-minute pre-concert talk. Pre-concert talks are an opportunity for conductors, musicians, and other experts to share more about the music and enhance your connection to the evening's program. You will get a glimpse into the composer's inspiration, the story behind a work, what to look for in a soloist's performance, and more!
