  • CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS: Danse macabre
  • CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS: Symphony No.

Louis Langrée and the CSO explore works that have sounds all their own. Berlioz’s music from an unfinished opera adds voices in extreme ranges. Through darkest doubt and brightest love, the music expresses Saint-Saëns’ entire being and his skill as an organist with moments that pull out all the stops. Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, “an arresting artist who…creates unique aural landscapes” (LA Times), debuts with Ravel’s Concerto in G Major for Piano and Orchestra.

We believe that great music is for everyone, regardless of your budget. This concert is eligible for Pay What You Wish Pricing, as well as other discounts. To learn more visit Music for All.
