At the heart of the concert is a new harp concerto by Tristan Coelho, written as a gift for his wife and QSO Principal Harp, Emily Granger. Personal and poetic, it showcases the harp’s brilliance and bold expressiveness.

The concert closes with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, a sweeping portrait of passion and heartbreak drawn from Shakespeare’s timeless tale.

Also featured are two deeply moving works: Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana Intermezzo and Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Though shorter in scale, they’re both rich in feeling and emotional depth.

An evening of romance awaits.
