Our 75th Anniversary Season finale is a jubilant Throwback Thursday! Crown Jewel sparkles with three works from our premiere concert in May 1948. Along with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, the DPO dazzled its first audiences not only with En Saga by Jean Sibelius but a telegram from Finland’s foremost composer wishing the orchestra success. The celebration concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s stunning Symphony No. 40.
