A program full of adventure and triumph! Vaughan Williams’ Overture to The Wasps buzzes to life with lively energy, followed by his lyrical and playful Tuba Concerto, featuring San Antonio’s own Justin Benavidez, praised as a “true virtuoso” by Fanfare Magazine. The evening ends with Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, taking us from its famous opening notes to a thrilling, victorious finale!
