Cambridge Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to collaborate for the second time with the choreographer Gianni Di Marco, as well as the New England Conservatory Women’s Chorus, in a ballet performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s impish and luminous incidental music for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The piece takes the listener on a magical journey of nocturnes, dances, and the famous Wedding March, with our two honored guest soloists singing the sprightly vocal “melodramas.”

The program also includes Ravel’s luxurious Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé, and a Fanfare by the British composer Philip Sawyers to display the majesty of the CSO’s brass section.
