Lovers and Dreamers

March 18, 2017 at 7:30 PM,  with Guest Conductor Brian Stone

Stravinsky — Pulcinella Suite

Walton — Viola Concerto with Mei-Chun Chen, TSO Principal Viola

Strauss — Treasure Waltz

Theofanidis — Dreamtime Ancestors (Kansas Premiere)

Bring a date to our romantic Lovers and Dreamers concert. We start with the suite from Stravinsky’s Pulcinella, a charming ballet based on characters from Italy’s Comedia dell’arte. Full of romantic intrigue and foibles, it ends happily in the marriage of the lovers. Also hear TSO Principal Viola Mei-Chun Chen play William Walton’s rarely heard, but beautiful Viola Concerto and the Kansas premiere of Christopher Theofanidis’ Dreamtime Ancestors — all under the direction of guest conductor Brian Stone.
