Johann Strauss, Jr. Overture Die Fledermaus – The elegant dress, movements and manners of the Viennese people are reflected in this poised and graceful piece.

Mozart, Bassoon Concerto – This expressive work of humor, technical daring and lyricism calls for a bassoon wizard.

Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde – Mahler paints a moving portrait of the natural world and the seasons, particularly autumn. Literally translating to, The Song of the Earth, this poignant piece conveys the fragile splendor of life, youth, beauty, and a moving and gentle farewell to life.

Tickets are available by contacting The Flint Symphony Orchestra.
