- Rossini - The Barber of Seville Overture

Two light hearted pieces book-end a deeply emotional one. First, Rossini’s Barber of Seville is pure musical fun, and the concert concludes happily with Beethoven enjoying life at the top of his form in his Fourth Symphony. In between these cheerful charmers lies the lush passion of Transfigured Night (Schoenberg), music which captures lovers who walk in fear and guilt, transformed by the radiant light of forgiveness.
Conductor Kyle Wiley Pickett will give a free pre-concert talk before the Redding and Chico concerts one hour before the concerts begin.
