"In the second cycle of Season 7, Serenades, we invite you into a vibrant exploration of wind music—both beloved classics and exciting new voices. Richard Arnell’s Serenade, Op. 57 for wind dectet and string bass sparkles with wit and charm, while Debussy’s iconic Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun showcases the artistry of our outstanding flute section. We are especially thrilled to premiere you are here, a brand-new work by Gilda Lyons. We hope you’ll join us for an evening of discovery, beauty, and exceptional performances."

– Brett A. Richardson, Conductor
