Together, CSO musicians and CYS students set the stage with Smetana’s The Moldau, evoking the glistening river that flows through Bohemia into Prague. The CSO then takes center stage for Tim Hinck’s Prairie Nightscape, a quietly radiant snapshot of dawn breaking across wide open land. From there, Milhaud’s Le Bœuf sur le toit brings a whirlwind of Brazilian melodies and French playfulness—quirky, jazzy, and irresistibly fun—followed by Schumann’s expansive and joyful “Rhenish” Symphony, inspired by the majesty of the Rhine. The evening culminates with a powerful return to the Side-by-Side format as CYS students rejoin the CSO for Sibelius’ Finlandia, a proud and urgent call for resilience. With both CSO Ilya Ram and Ismael Sandoval sharing the podium and generations of musicians sharing the stage, this performance is a celebration of artistic excellence, education, and the future of orchestral music in our community. This concert is offered at a reduced ticket price to reflect its special Side-by-Side format, which includes student participation during select works.
