Each section of the Joy of Italy concert was timeless from the passion and drama of Carmen, to the renewal of Spring and finally to the sunshine drenched vistas of Mendelssohn’s Italian. It was delivered from the musicians with enthusiasm and skill and received by the audience with open hearts. Well done LSO! We enjoyed the lovely celebration of Joy of Italy and look forward to the April 29th season finale concert Music of the Night
The March 25, 2025 Joy of ITALY concert, performing Georges Bizet’s “Les Toreadors” (Carmen Suite No. 1). Conducted by Maestro Richard Prior.

Each ensemble, each guest artist, and each audience member contributed a unique light. Together, they created an evening that glowed with gratitude, community, and the enduring spirit of the season.
