OUR 2008-09 season: “OUR FAVORITE THINGS”

Welcome to a season of orchestral favorites as chosen by our audience, the orchestra itself, and naturally, by yours truly. While much of this music will be immediately familiar and even popular, you may discover some new favorites along the way. Have you ever heard a symphony from Finland? How about the music of Hindemith? You'll hear these treasures along with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, played live by our own LPO in beautiful McMahon Auditorium. Subscribe now, so you won't miss a single note!
