I'm sure everyone could use a vacation at this point, so get your passports ready because we're headed to France!! We'll get things started with Marche militaire française from Camille Saint-Saëns' Suite algérienne, Op.60 followed by Mozart's 'Paris' Symphony and a sweet Lullaby for strings by Hofeldt. After a quick break, we'll be joined by guest conductor Veronica Jackson as she conducts Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2, Op. 11 by French fencing master and violin virtuoso Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George. Our trip to France will end with Debussy's Petite Suite.

After a rousing buckaroo introduction, we take one last trip all the way to the Siberian woods with Rebecca Young narrating Prokofiev's 'Peter and the Wolf'.
