Complimenting Sibelius’ music is Prokofiev’s “Classical” symphony, a playful and witty piece that blends classical tradition with modern twists. Finally, you will hear Lacy’s Aurora, an emotionally rich symphony that conveys hope and the promise of renewal.
Sibelius: Music of Fire and Ice starts at 8 PM on March 5 and 6. It’s going to be a two-hour show with intermission.
