Rhythmic drive meets lyrical beauty in this exhilarating South Florida Symphony Orchestra program brimming with wit and brilliance when Ravel’s bluesy and spirited Piano Concerto in G major with SFSO fan-favorite Svetlana Smolina at the keys, joins the windswept glory of Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2. Based on a melody by a 16th century composer, Vaughan Williams’ haunting Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis opens the sparkling evening of music, led by Maestra Sebrina Alfonso.
