Lift Every Voice

7:30 p.m.
The Lima Symphony Chorus and the Bowling Green State University Choral Society will join our orchestra as we transport you to the 13th century for a tale of war, treason and the power of the common people united by a hero with Prokofiev’s renowned cantata, Alexander Nevsky. We conclude our season with the chromatic patterns of Saint-Saens Organ Symphony, known for its virtuoso piano passages, brilliant orchestral writing and the sound of a cathedral-sized pipe organ, all sweeping to a dramatic finish.

| Tina Bunce, mezzo-soprano | |
| Lima Symphony Chorus | |
