Dive into the depths of orchestral brilliance with the Plano Symphony Orchestra's captivating presentation, "An Oceanic Adventure." This mesmerizing concert, under the baton of guest conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg, is set to take place on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 8 PM in the prestigious Robinson Fine Arts Center.

The evening promises an auditory journey through the powerful waves and serene calm of the ocean with Claude Debussy's masterpiece, "La Mer (The Sea)." This piece, a cornerstone of symphonic literature, has enchanted audiences worldwide for over a century with its innovative and evocative exploration of the sea's natural beauty and power. Recognized as one of the most influential works of the 20th century, "La Mer" stands as a testament to Debussy's genius in capturing the essence of the ocean's ever-changing nature.

Adding to the excitement of the night, the concert will showcase the extraordinary talents of the three grand prize winners of the PSO’s annual Collin County Young Artist Competition. These young virtuosos will perform their winning concertos, offering a glimpse into the future of classical music and perhaps revealing the next Debussy in the making.

"An Oceanic Adventure" is not just a concert; it's an experience that promises to transport its audience through the stirring emotions and majestic beauty of the sea. Join us for an unforgettable evening of music that continues to resonate through time. For tickets and more information, visit the Plano Symphony Orchestra's website.
