Italian Journey Valentine’s Matinee
Tchaikovsky: Capriccio Italien • Schubert: Overture in the Italian Style
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 in A Major (Italian) • Strauss: Lagoon Waltzes
The light, the food, the people—these have all made Italy the destination of choice for artists, poets, composers… and lovers. Our special Valentine’s weekend matinee is a series of romantic musical postcards that will make you fall in love all over again. Chianti anyone?
After the concert, continue the journey at Courthouse Pub (more info)!
