Sorcery and Spectacle
Thursday, December 4, 7:30 p.m., Griffin Concert Hall

Prepare to be spellbound as the CSU Symphony Orchestra, directed by Dr. Rachel Waddell, conjures an evening of magic and adventure. Our journey begins with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Magic Flute Overture, setting the stage with a balance of grandeur and whimsy. Next, acclaimed vocalist and faculty artist John Lindsey joins the ensemble for Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs, weaving together profound beauty with spiritual wonder. The evening culminates in Igor Stravinsky’s fiery masterpiece, the Firebird Suite (1919) with accompanying animation created by Christine Banna professor at Rochester Institute of Technology. The Firebird Suite is a breathtaking orchestral transformation of Russian folklore depicting the quest for love and immortality.
