More Than Music
2016-17 Season
Fouad Fakhouri
Music Director
Symphonic Fireworks
Saturday, October 22, 2016 - 8:00 pm
Join the SBSO for Maestro Fakhouri’s inaugural concert as our tenth Music Director.
Fakhouri explains: “I not only wanted this concert to feature music that I love, but
to include selections that are well-loved by audiences and that showcase our SBSO
musicians.” The concert begins with Beethoven’s powerful Coriolan Overture and is
followed by The Firebird Suite. This dazzling music by Stravinsky continues to be as
fresh and groundbreaking as the day it was premiered in Paris in 1910. Tchaikovsky’s
Fourth Symphony, performed after intermission, encapsulates his brilliance as a
composer, his ability to delve into his emotions, and his personal documentation of
his deep, sometimes, violent feelings about life and fate.
