Join the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra for a night of music that stirs the soul and ignites the imagination. Romance & Reverie invites you on a journey through love, loss, and longing with three masterworks that showcase the emotional depth and brilliance of the classical repertoire.

The evening begins with Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, a delicate and poignant tribute that blends Baroque grace with French impressionism. Each movement shimmers with elegance, offering a reflective homage to the past while embracing Ravel’s signature lyricism and charm.

Next, guest soloist Heather Conner takes center stage for Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a towering work of lush romanticism and virtuosic power. From its haunting opening chords to its soaring, heart-rending finale, this concerto has captivated audiences for over a century, and with Conner’s performance, it promises to be nothing short of breathtaking.

The concert culminates in Tchaikovsky’s dramatic fantasy-overture Romeo and Juliet, a sweeping orchestral retelling of Shakespeare’s tragic love story. With its passionate themes, stormy conflicts, and one of the most iconic love melodies ever written, this masterpiece brings the evening to an exhilarating close.

Don’t miss Romance & Reverie, a night of musical storytelling that will leave you enchanted long after the final note.
