Santa Maria Philharmonic Society: Tonal Tapestries

Join the Santa Maria Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Michael Nowak for the 2024-25 season-opening concert featuring imaginative orchestral music.

First, a work by the celebrated British composer Benjamin Britten inspired generations of classical music fans, The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. What begins as an educational showcase of the orchestra’s range develops into a masterfully explored fugue on a classic British theme. The concert closes with the orchestral suite Scheherazade, a dazzling musical telling of The Arabian Knights by the titan among Russian composers, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

There will be a pre-concert lecture that will enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the music. This Pre-Concert Lecture is FREE and open to all concert goers. The lecture will be held just before the concert, beginning at 6:50PM and ending at 7:10PM.
