NBSO Romantic Revelations

Step into a world of beauty, drama, and deep emotion. Let the power of music celebrate the love and joy in your life. This concert is a musical journey that connects heart and soul.

We begin with Samuel Barber’s Overture to The School for Scandal—a playful, high-spirited burst of wit and charm that sets the tone for a night of bold expression.

Violin soloist Jesse Holstein joins the orchestra for Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Violin Concerto—a lush, soulful work pulsing with lyricism and passion. Written by a brilliant Black British composer whose music was nearly lost to history, this concerto is a rediscovered gem that stirs the spirit and honors resilience.

We close with the sweeping beauty of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 1, “Winter Dreams”—a tender, evocative portrait of longing, memory, and the quiet magic of the season.

Let this concert be your midwinter reset—a chance to feel inspired, reconnected, and swept away by music that speaks directly to the heart.
