SLO Symphony: Organ Spectacular

The Symphony’s 2024/25 season kicks off with a celebration of the mighty Forbes Pipe Organ with guest soloist Felix Hell performing the Belgian composer Joseph Jongen’s iconic Sinfonia Concertante for Organ and Orchestra from 1926. The Symphony will open with a magical dance from olden times, Menuet antique, originally written for piano and later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. The concert concludes with Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E minor op. 98 from 1883, a work of both sweeping gestures, soulful yearning and sublime passion.
