The concert opens with the overture from the Opera Hansel and Gretel, a lush blend of German folk and early 20th-century modernism. Chapters of Winter Vignettes by Eric Larsson and Dittersdorf’s Concerto in A Major for Harp and Orchestra performed by S.O. Concerto Competition winner, harpist Ella Bougher concludes the first half of the concert.
