Three composers, three great cities, and one unforgettable finale! Taichi Fukumura takes the podium for the final St. Mary’s performance of the summer, leading a program that captures the energy and spirit of the places that inspired it.
Stravinsky’s crisp and playful Dumbarton Oaks channels the vitality of Washington, D.C., with jazz-inflected counterpoint and rhythmic zest. Mozart’s bold “Paris” Symphony follows—a dazzling showpiece designed to impress the city’s sophisticated audiences.
Haydn’s “Oxford” Symphony wraps up the evening with his signature charm and wit—a symphony so masterfully crafted, it was performed when he received an honorary doctorate. No studying required to enjoy this grand finale!
