Symphonic Odyssey
Saturday, April 18, 2026 – 7 p.m.
Join us as the Carmel Symphony Orchestra wraps up its 2025 – 2026 season with a journey through four exciting and meaningful works for full symphony orchestra. Dvorak’s Carnival Overture celebrates the bountiful joy we find in life, while Cristina Spinei’s work …throes of increasing wonder (originally composed for ballet performance) is shimmery, light, and lavish in its own way. Mahler’s Adagietto for strings and harp remind us of our own stories of boundless love for those closest to us, while Mendelssohn’s Fifth Symphony, “Reformation,” is its own wonder of composition, contemplating the great themes of faith and life. Juxtaposing “old style” polyphony and his own ubiquitous style, Mendelssohn’s masterwork will surely leave you in awe.
Repertoire:
– Antonin Dvořák – Carnival Overture, op. 92
– Cristina Spinei – …throes of increasing wonder
– Gustav Mahler – Adagietto from Symphony No. 5
– Felix Mendelssohn – Symphony No. 5, op. 107, “Reformation”
