"Suite Dreams of France" Saturday Classics Concert

Savor the fairytale charm of the French countryside with Festival City Symphony as the orchestra performs whimsical Suites by composers Emmanuel Chabrier and Darius Milhaud. Full of fanciful charm and upbeat melodies, the opening Suites are the perfect prelude to Igor Stravinsky’s famous ballet suite from The Firebird. Premiered in Paris in 1910, Stravinsky draws from folklore to tell the tale of a powerful ogre who captures young princesses and turns their rescuers to stone. Will the princesses get free? Will the Firebird turn to stone? Join us live to have your own happily ever after-noon.
