Samuel Barber: Essay No. 1, Op. 12

Michael Tilson Thomas: Notturno
Paul-Agricole Génin: Carnaval de Venise
Annie Wu, flute soloist

Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 8

Join us on a musical journey of optimism and hope. The music of American composers Samuel Barber and our late, beloved Michael Tilson Thomas explore themes of darkness moving into light. Hometown favorite flute soloist Annie Wu will play the virtuosic and lyrical Tilson Thomas piece “Notturno” plus a comedic depiction of the lively carnival of Venice! We finish the evening on a radiant note with Dvořák’s joyous 8th Symphony!

The audience and performers are invited to enjoy a reception featuring Livermore Valley wines and hosted by the Livermore-Amador Symphony Guild in the lobby after each evening concert.
