Music Director Laureate Kate Tamarkin returns to Charlottesville Symphony with some of her favorite symphonic works.

Manuel de Falla, Suite No. 2 from The Three-Cornered Hat: This ballet suite, brimming with bright colors and crisp rhythms, captures the soul of Spanish music, dancing and folk traditions.

Maurice Ravel, Mother Goose Suite: One of Ravel's "greatest hits", this exquisite collection of short pieces was inspired by the enchanting world of children's fairy tales from seventeenth and eighteenth-century France.

Antonín Dvořák, Symphony No. 8: Described as "sun-drenched", "rustic" and "pastoral", Dvořák's musical tribute to his Bohemian homeland evokes an idyllic summer's day complete with birdsong and hunting horn calls.
