New Texas Sinfonia concludes the season with a visit to Italy! Felix Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony, commonly known as the Italian, captures the ebullience and richness of Italy as experienced by the composer during his tour of Europe from 1829 to 1831. He wrote to his sister Fanny, “The Italian symphony is making great progress. It will be the jolliest piece I have ever done, especially the last movement.” 

If that isn’t enough to sweep you off your feet, the program also features Alfredo Casella’s Concerto Romano for organ & orchestra, celebrating 25 years of East Texas’ largest pipe organ. With playing described by Classical Voice of North Carolina as “simply first class,” Bryan Anderson joins the orchestra for a rarely heard, yet grand, Italian concerto.
