Livermore-Amador Symphony to Perform Winter Tales Concert

     The Livermore-Amador Symphony will perform its “Winter Tales” concert on Saturday evening, December 2 at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore, CA. Celebrate the season with magical music and fairy tales! Sibelius’ “Karelia Overture” opens the program. “The music is full of joy and ends in a blaze of glory,” says music director and conductor Lara Webber.

     Resphighi’s shimmering “Trittico Botticelliano” brings a warm glow to the dark days of winter and features music familiar in Christmas carols. The program closes with Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel Suite,” described by Webber as “…fully loaded with rich harmonies, memorable melodies, and powerful moments that sweep us away.”

     Get your holidays off to a festive start with the sounds of the symphony! The concert begins at 8:00 p.m. Webber will provide brief commentary during the concert in lieu of a prelude talk. A complimentary wine and sparkling cider reception in the Bankhead lobby follows the performance.

     Youth under age 22 are always free. Tickets are available at the Bankhead ticket office at 2400 First St., Livermore, CA. For more information please visit  https://livermorearts.org/event-list/ or call 925-373-6800.
