Philip Glass—Interlude from Orphée
Philip Glass—Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra
Peter I. Tchaikovsky—Symphony No. 6 “Pathetique”

Enjoy this mesmerizing concert with flowing, contemporary works by the iconic composer Philip Glass and Tchaikovsky’s intense, sensual Sixth Symphony, one of the greatest symphonic works of all time. The unusual, lighthearted Saxophone Quartet Concerto by Glass gives the effect of a Baroque concerto grosso.
