OCTOBER 2 I Whiting Auditorium
DE FALLA Nights in the Gardens of Spain
MENDELSSOHN A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Transport yourself to Nights in the Gardens of Spain. Manuel de Falla's composition originally began as a set of nocturnes for solo piano, which evolved into a piano and orchestra piece.

After leaving Spain, we spin the globe to land in Athens with Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream, inspired by the Shakespeare play of the same name. Mendelssohn wrote the famous overture in E Major at just 17 years old.

Message from the executive office
It feels fabulous to welcome the Flint Symphony Orchestra back to the Whiting stage tomorrow for the opening concert of its season. We are blessed for a community our size to have an orchestra that’s been continuously performing with brilliance and acclaim for over 100 years. It’s remarkable, and I hope you’ll join us to celebrate.
 
If you have to miss the live performance, our digital venue FSOLive is back this year. Each concert is live-streamed and then available on-demand for the following 30 days. So spread the news to music lovers beyond Genesee County. The music will inspire and heal from the comfort of your home!
 
I hope you enjoy the beauty and bounty of a beautiful Michigan fall weekend.
 
Sincerely,
Rodney Lontine
