The Santa Maria Philharmonic begins its 2022-23 season with a festival of fiery passions and transformative figures that together typify the Romantic era.

Ludwig van Beethoven’s Egmont Overture expresses the triumphant struggle and sacrifice against imperial oppression, putting to music sentiments that would shape a century. The Enigma Variations, by late-Romantic British composer Edward Elgar, explore the most intimate and individual interactions of friendship and love. Violin soloist Roger Wilkie will join Maestro Michael Nowak and orchestra for Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor, a cornerstone of both violin literature and 19th Century art music.

There will be a pre-concert lecture presented by Joe Payne that will enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the music. This Pre-Concert Lecture is FREE and open to all concert goers. The lecture will be held just before the concert, beginning at 6:50PM and ending at 7:10PM.

Complete Program:

Beethoven Egmont Overture
