Symphonic music is filled with delightful little pieces that alone can fill several concerts. We have taken some of the best of these and put them into one concert. Musical bonbons such as Sibelius' Finlandia and Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette come together with Dvorak's Carnival Overture and Grainger's Irish Tune from County Derry (Danny Boy) in a melodious serving of classical music's best! |
