March 2 — Schumann, Symphony No. 3, “Rhenish”

Tickets are available now for the late winter concert featuring the Schumann Symphony No. 3 in E-Flat Major.  This stirring symphony will surely warm your heart on a cold winter evening–join us to experience this great work of romantic music.  Called the “Rhenish,” the symphony was composed after a peaceful and happy vacation trip for Clara and Robert Schumann in 1850.  It has an amazingly cinematic first movement and includes a movement that Schumann wanted to be played as a sacred rite with a brass choir quite unlike any other Romantic work.  You will love this wonderful symphony.  Don’t forget to invite your friends and share the music!
