The FSO presents…
The 2007-2008 season
The Majesty of Nature through the Grandeur of Music
Nature and music touch us in profound ways, and the coming season is filled with works depicting some of nature’s most powerful and moving marvels. Stops on our season of natural wonders include the breathtaking Grand Canyon, the serenity of the flowing Moldau River and the drama of the icy Antarctic.
“The music we have planned for you next season takes as its inspiration the beauty, emotion and drama found in the natural wonders around us,” said FSO music director and conductor, Enrique Diemecke. “I hope you find as much inspiration and joy listening to these pieces as I have conducting them.”
Maestro Diemecke is the scheduled conductor at all concerts this season, except March 15.
