French Connection Program Notes.

“The Sibelius Symphony, if you surrender to it, will sweep you away on a grandiose musical wave that I’m sure will leave your heart pounding.
I chose the Berlioz piece because it was on one of my favorite CDs growing up. I still remember that recording and I learned so much about this piece from it.”
“I have a fond memory of the Sibelius Symphony No. 2, particularly the last movement. I played it in my first year playing in the All State orchestra. I think I was in 7th or 8th grade. Ah the memories!”
– Andrew Grams, reminiscing his childhood.
