From Darkness to Light

Our final concert is filled with deeply expressive and profound music by Federico Garcia, and refreshing and fun loving surprises by Roger Zahab.  These brilliant Pittsburgh composers use vibrant rhythms and a wide range of orchestral color, which allows each instrumental section to shine as virtuoso soloists.  The ESO will fill the hall with spectacular brilliance as we round out this magnificent program with the magic of Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky. You will not want to miss this thrilling season finale!  Soloist: Marissa Knaub-Avon
