Music celebrating the season opens this concert with joy. Two English composers, Coleridge-Taylor and Vaughan Williams, bring us holiday favorites with “A Christmas Overture” and “Greensleeves.” The Nordic lyricism of Grieg leads us to a journey from darkness to brilliant bold light with French composer Saint-Saëns’ exhilarating and triumphant “Organ Symphony.”

No Prelude Talk

Coleridge-Taylor: Christmas Overture
Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on Greensleeves
Grieg: Lyric Suite
Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3, “Organ”
