The YOSA Philharmonic presents a program of lush string orchestra music to warm a winter evening. Dag Wirén’s Serenade for Strings is a rollicking breath of fresh air, while Gustav Mahler’s Adagietto is a beautiful love song to the woman he would marry just a few months later. The orchestra also celebrates African-American music with traditional spirituals and music by William Grant Still, the first Black composer to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra. Each concert will open with a performance by a chamber ensemble of YOSA’s most advanced wind players, a wind quintet on Saturday and a brass quintet on Sunday.

This is a free concert, but tickets are required in the H-E-B Performance Hall and are limited to five per family.

This concert will also be streamed live at www.yosa.org/watchlive.
