Immerse yourself in an evening of American orchestral splendor! Led by the Ocala Symphony’s Principal Guest Conductor, Raymond Chobaz, the performance begins with Charles Tomlinson Griffes’ The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan, a shimmering, exotic tone poem inspired by Coleridge’s mystical poetry. Next, celebrated violinist Yefim Romanov takes the stage for Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, Op. 14. From its lyrical opening to its fiery finale, this American masterpiece showcases virtuosic brilliance and heartfelt expression. After intermission, the program concludes with Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, “Romantic”. A sweeping and richly melodic work, this American symphony’s lush textures and triumphant themes are a heartfelt tribute to the enduring power of the human spirit. Don’t miss this unforgettable journey!
Raymond Chobaz, Principal Guest Conductor
