Masterworks: Saint-Sean’s’ Organ Symphony

“I gave everything to it I was able to give,” Saint-Saëns said of his Third Symphony. TFO Resident Conductor Chelsea Gallo takes us to France for a program featuring Saint-Saëns’ lush masterpiece, which builds until the splendor of the organ is let loose in the breathtaking conclusion. A tribute to Fauré’s father, his Requiem creates a place of peace and serenity with rich, soulful melodies, featuring The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay. The vibrant energy of Lili Boulanger’s Of a Spring Morning begins the concert.

Bonus! For every Masterworks concert, Michael Francis has personally chosen a surprise “mystery piece” to enhance your experience. What will it be this weekend?

Classical Kids & Teens: Kids and teens ages 5-18 get in free to all Masterworks concerts with Classical Kids tickets, thanks in part to the generous support of an anonymous donor.
