Symphony by the Sea presents A Winter Serenade.The string orchestra, with its incredible range and blended sonority, has always enticed composers to explore its exciting possibilities and to compose some of their best music. Mozart’s elegant nighttime serenade (Eine kliene Nachtmusik), Shostakovich’s anguished pleas against war, and Tchaikovsky’s energetic, dance-infused Serenade combine for a memorable afternoon of great music making. *A reception with complimentary refreshments follows this concert.
About Symphony by the Sea
Symphony by the Sea is the premier professional orchestra north of Boston. Established in 1981 by the late Royston Nash, former Music Director of London’s D’Oyly Carte Opera Company, it provided a group of talented professional musicians a local alternative to community orchestras.
For over 40 years, Symphony by the Sea has brought an outstanding array of soloists to its stage including such celebrated artists as Pamela Frank, Stephanie Chase and Paula Robison as well as members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In addition, our subscription series concerts have regularly featured emerging young artists such as Stefan Jackiw and Augustine Hadelich who have gone on to headline performances at notable venues such as Carnegie Hall, Boston’s Symphony Hall and the Tanglewood Music Festival.
