Mozart’s Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major will be brought to life by Deb Harris, FMSO’s principal flutist, whose expressive tone and command of the instrument reveal the concerto’s elegance.

The program also offers a rare treat as Music Director, Christopher Zimmerman, steps away from the conductor’s podium to perform at the piano in Ernest Bloch’s Concerto Grosso for Strings and Piano, a richly textured work blending Baroque tradition with modern harmony.

Also featured are Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale, a lively and theatrical piece full of storytelling, and Haydn’s Symphony No. 83, “La Poule”, known for its playful motif.
