Romantic Masterworks of Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Farrenc
The beloved Maryland Symphony Orchestra returns for a stirring concert of three Romantic-era masterworks. Felix Mendelssohn’s hauntingly beautiful Melusine Overture conveys the folkloric tale of a mythical being, Louise Farrenc’s captivating Symphony No. 3 showcases the composer’s skillful use of counterpoint and chromatic harmonies and Ludwig von Beethoven’s dramatic and passionate Symphony No. 7 provides a triumphant finale to a magical symphonic performance.
Since its founding in 1982, the Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s influence and reputation have reached far beyond Western Maryland. Under the baton of Elizabeth Schulze, who was declared by the Washington Post to be “a superb conductor,” MSO has become a first-class orchestra of exceptional artistic quality.
Classical concerts are not recommended for children under the age of 5. As a courtesy to audience members and performers, please use discretion regarding a young child’s ability to sit quietly and enjoy a performance. Audience members with restless children will be asked to take them to the lobby as a courtesy to other patrons.
