Join the 51ÁÔÆæ Symphony Orchestra for a vibrant and seasonally inspired program celebrating the spirit of December. The evening opens with the Baroque energy of J.S.

The program continues with Ravel’s charming and imaginative Mother Goose Suite (Ma mère l’Oye), bringing beloved fairy tales to life through color and storytelling. The concert concludes with the festive elegance of Johann Strauss II’s Kaiser-Walzer, capturing the warmth and joy of the holiday season.
We invite you to join us for an evening of beautiful music, exceptional artistry, and musical traditions that uplift and inspire.
