Our final offering of the season returns to our acclaimed American Masterworks series, exploring great symphonic works from the American musical theater tradition. We’re thrilled to bring you a concert performance of Bernstein’s brilliant comic operetta Candide, based on Voltaire’s biting satirical novella of the same name. Soloists in this spectacular production include many audience favorites, including 2012 GRAMMY Award-winning artist Thomas Glenn in the title role. Don’t miss what promises to be the “Best of all Possible” season finales!
