Promising a night of lyrical beauty and orchestral drama, conductor Louis Lohraseb shapes a program that follows an arc of adoration to heartbreak in the first half. The season finale at St. Mary’s Catholic Church opens with Wagner’s tender Siegfried Idyll, a deeply personal expression of love written as a birthday gift for his wife. Then the spotlight turns to Erica Petrocelli in two dramatic works that showcase the brilliance and expressive power of the soprano voice: Mozart’s virtuosic “Come scoglio” from Così fan tutte, a declaration of unwavering fidelity, and Mendelsohn's “Infelice,” where sweet memories offer fleeting comfort after a lover’s betrayal.

Famously called “the apotheosis of the dance itself” by Wagner, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 brings the night to a triumphant close. An instant symphonic favorite—with early audiences reportedly demanding a repeat of the second movement—the piece surges with wildness and joy, culminating in one of the most electrifying finales in classical music.
