Let the warmth of southern France melt the winter chill as we journey through Bizet’s beloved L’Arlésienne suites—music that outshone the play it was written for and has captivated hearts ever since. We’re thrilled to welcome Wesley Dunnagan to the stage, bringing to life the lush, lyrical worlds of Schubert, Strauss, and Wolf with his stunning voice. Plus, enjoy a festive selection of your favorite holiday classics!
