The Salina Symphony will close its season with “Passion,” on Sunday, May 7, at 4 p.m. at the Stiefel Theatre.
From the soaring melodies in Massenet’s Méditation from Thaïs to the timeless tunes from Bizet’s Carmen, this concert will celebrate powerful female voices. The season will conclude with the story of the brilliant woman who changed history in Rimsky-Korsakov’s colorful Scheherazade.
The finale will conclude the first mainstage season under Music Director Yaniv Segal’s artistic leadership of the Symphony. “This concert provides something for everyone, with classic favorites combined with a co-commission by Jennifer Higdon,” Segal said. “I'm looking forward to ending the season with stories about powerful women and the soaring and colorful melodies of Scheherazade!”
