Michael Butterman, Music Director 

Guest Artist: Richard Scofano, bandoneón

Debussy’s impressionistic masterpiece paints a landscape of mysterious serenity. We then glimpse a beatific “land without evil” in Scofano’s gor- geous tone poem based on Guaraní folklore. Finally, Brahms’s masterful Symphony No. 1 takes us on a journey from darkness to light, complete with one of the best-known melodies in all of classical music.
