Celebrate the opening of our 40th season in style with a concert celebrating our orchestra’s roots. 40 years ago, the LSO began its first season with Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait, narrated by Senator John Warner. Now 40 years later, we once again open our season with this piece, narrated by Astronaut Leland Melvin. The program also includes Dances in the Canebreaks by Florence Price and concludes with one of maestro Glover’s favorite works, the second symphony of Johannes Brahms.

Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony
March 11 | 7:30 PM
Historic Theatre
You will want to dance right out of your seat during this concert of dance-inspired classical favorites. Beethoven’s seventh symphony was once called “the apotheosis of the dance“, and remains one of the most joyous, exuberant, and rhythmically vital pieces of orchestral music. In addition, the orchestra plays William Grant Still’s Danzas de Panama and a suite from Igor Stravinsky’s humorously bouyant ballet, Pulcinella. This will be a ride you don’t want to miss!
