Come hear why this work is such a masterpiece and fall in love with the symphony all over again, or perhaps for the very first time. Equally as dramatic, the Immaculata Symphony is thrilled to welcome back to the stage Ms. Janet Ahlquist, as she performs Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. The concert opens with a newer work by Christopher Theofanidis based on a fascinating medieval chant. A truly inspirational concert to conclude another exciting season led by Maestro Joseph Gehring.
