Open the season with a program featuring three masterworks from the English and Classical traditions. Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music, composed in tribute to Sir Henry Wood and the singers associated with his musical legacy, offers a reflective opening to the evening. Haydn’s Symphony No. 104 “London” follows, bringing classical energy and momentum.

The evening culminates in Elgar’s Cello Concerto, performed by Shreveport’s own John-Henry Crawford. One of the most moving works in the repertoire, Elgar’s concerto closes the program with a sense of stillness and emotional depth.
