Join Oklahoma Chamber Symphony for a season finale featuring some of the grandest music ever composed.
What’s Special About This Concert:
Celebrate the 120th anniversary of the oldest pipe organ in the state of Oklahoma with a piece that pulls out all the stops, Saint-Saëns’ symphony with an unconventional featured instrument, the organ!
OCS musicians share the spotlight as winners' of the Oklahoma Chamber Symphony Concerto Competition, playing a piece by an unknown composer so great, his music was often attributed to Haydn. It’s a piece so fantastic, two winners will perform in a double concerto - a genre usually reserved for a single soloist.
OCS Composer-In-Residence Clint Williams gives the first ever performance of a brand new piece.
