Our season opens with an evening of favorite music from the silver screen. You’ll hear the best from films past and present in a beautiful setting along the Red River. The concert is free and open to the public. Special table seating is also available by calling the Symphony at 442-9709, ext. 1.

Beautiful, harmonious sounds will fill the Coughlin-Saunders Performing Arts Center during this concert featuring Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony No. 6 and Mozart’s 21^st Piano Concerto (K. 467) which features the famous second movement used in the film, “Elvira Madigan”.

The Symphony, with its special guest, the Red River Chorale, is again pleased to present a holiday concert for the whole family. The concert will also include a piece voted on by the audience!

The centerpiece of this concert is Johann Sebastian Bach’s beautiful solo Cantata No. 82, “Ich Habe Genug”, written for the Feast of the Purification.

In addition to presenting our superb Concerto Competition Winners, the RSO will perform Tchaikovsky’s final work, his Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique”, a work that poignantly expresses the cycle of life.

Our 42^nd season closes with some of the most passionate music ever written for orchestra including Richard Strauss’ “Dance of the Seven Veils”, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, and music from Ravel’s ballet Daphnis et Chloe.
