Sibelius’ mighty Symphony No. 2 suggests an expansive winter landscape, arctic sunshine, icy winds, and majestic mountains; but it also expresses courage, defiance, and resistance. Haydn’s energetic Sinfonia concertante provides the rare opportunity to see four ESO musicians featured as soloists, all in the same piece. Magnard’s powerful hymn for orchestra was the first piece played by the Orchestre national de France after the liberation of Paris in 1944.

Finding no peace in the world hereafter, Guercœur wishes himself back to earth – to his great love Giselle and his people, who he led to freedom ...

Four deities, Vérité, Bonté, Beauté and Souffrance grant Guercœur’s wish to return to earth, but the world’s moved on: Giselle, who promised to be true to him forever, is having an affair with Guercœur’s pupil Heurtal, who’s kissed goodbye to the ideals of freedom and love and turned into a dictator. The starving populace is divided, resulting in violent riots which threaten the foundations of the fledgling democracy.

TŌN’s tenth season at the Fisher Center concludes with a program of dazzling and colorful music by three European composers. The concert begins with Kaija Saariaho’s Laterna Magica, inspired by the autobiography of filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. Then the orchestra is joined by clarinetist Miles Wazni, a winner of the 2023 Bard Conservatory Concerto Competition, for Carl Maria von Weber’s virtuosic Clarinet Concerto No. 2. We close with the luminous and beautifully crafted final symphony of French composer Albéric Magnard.
