Adam Stern Conductor

This lively concert features music inspired by myths and fables. This concert includes a collection of works steeped in the ever-rich world of fantasy, from Greek mythology (“Orpheus in the Underworld”) to King Arthur’s court (“Camelot”) to “The Wizard of Oz” (“Wicked”). Included also in the selections are My Neighbor Totoro, symphonic favorites from the operas of Saint-Saëns and Offenbach, and our Festival Orchestra’s own Nicole Buetti as a featured soloist on contrabassoon for Ruth Gipps’ Leviathan!
