The program for the evening includes a selection of evocative pieces that span the breadth of emotional and musical expression. The concert will open with "The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a piece that captures the essence of serene beauty, with Ottawa's own concertmaster, Erica Miller, showcasing her violin skills.

This piece, inspired by the watercolors and drawings of Mussorgsky's dear friend Victor Hartmann, is a series of musical depictions that promises to take the audience on a profound emotional journey.
