Darkness & Light
In the final program of the season, we are thrilled to give the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Cody Criswell, as well as a performance of Schubert’s Symphony No. 4 in C-minor. In this early, yet mature symphony, Schubert accepts the fact that the elements of darkness and light maintain an equivalent place in our existence. Join us on this fascinating musical voyage!
