Sibelius: Symphony No. 2
Friday, December 2 · 10:30 AM
Sibelius’ Second Symphony is the most famous of the Finnish composer’s seven symphonies and an unforgettable Romantic journey. As a transition from the youthful to the mature Sibelius, we follow one of the 20th-century’s most original symphonic masters.

Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante in E-Flat Major
Friday, January 13 · 10:30 AM
A delightful Mozart concerto-times-four with a chance to hear the WSO’s fabulous principal wind players in one of his most delightful compositions! Mozart not only had an intimate knowledge of the unique sounds of each solo wind instrument, but their special personalities as well.

Schumann: Symphony No. 1 (Spring)
Friday, March 2 · 10:30 AM
Schumann’s ‘Spring’ Symphony is an exuberant work the composer started just after marrying his famous soul-mate Clara Wieck, composing it in a `state of bliss’ as he said. Youthful joie de vivre pervades this supremely happy creation.
