Rockford Symphony Orchestra: Carnival Of The Animals

From the elegance of Paris to the excitement of the circus, this all-French program celebrates imagination and orchestral color. Ravel's Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé evokes a breathtaking sunrise and some of the lushest writing in the orchestral repertoire, while Saint-Saëns takes us on a musical tour through the animal kingdom. The concert concludes with Ravel?s hypnotic Boléro, an orchestral tour de force.
