Why You'll Love This Concert
Welcome the return of spring with the joyous Symphony No. 1 from Robert Schumann,
the first of the great Romantic composers. Our evening begins with the rarely-performed overture for his only opera, Genoveva, praised by The New York Times as “a tapestry of impassioned romantic melody.” The excitement continues as we showcase the talented winner of the University of Redlands’ annual concerto competition.

Feel the Passion
From the medieval drama of Genoveva to the final bars of the “Spring” Symphony, you’ll be revitalized by the emotional depth of this music from the first of the great Romantics.
The performance of Dicken's 'A Christmas Carol' was just amazing. The cast, chorus, and orchestra moved me to tears.
Thank you for this marvelous production, which might just have been the best event from the Redlands Symphony in the 13 years I have been a season subscriber.
