October Concert
Fate & The Supernatural
Dark legends. Cursed bargains. The power of fate.
Step into a world where dark powers and destiny intertwine. Weber’s Der Freischütz overture plunges us into the shadowed forest of German legend, where a desperate hunter strikes a deal with the devil. Dvořák’s The Noon Witch conjures a chilling Czech folktale of fear and consequence, where a mother’s warning becomes a haunting reality.
Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 closes the journey with a confrontation not with demons, but with fate itself: an overwhelming force that tests the limits of human spirit and triumph. Our program unites music of myth and destiny in a concert that moves from the eerie and enchanted to the intensely human.
Weber | Der Freischütz Overture
Dvorak | The Noon Witch
Tchaikovsky | Symphony No. 4

May Concert
NLH present Pastoral Dialogues, our May concert with Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for 4 Winds and Brahms’ Serenade No. 1.
Listen as our very own wind soloists step forward not to compete, but to listen, respond, and play together - like old friends telling stories.
The latter half of the program offers a broader, more spacious kind of dialogue: a warm, open-hearted work by a young composer just beginning to find his voice.
These two pieces form a kind of circle - not just of instruments or harmonies, but of people, stories, and shared expression.
