Carmen Reimagined – November 14, 2026 | 7:30PM
Tango, drama and a little danger — this program brings a fresh edge to the symphony experience. Internationally acclaimed accordionist Hanzhi Wang joins the orchestra for Piazzolla’s Aconcagua Concerto, a work full of intensity and flair. The concert closes with Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite, a bold reimagining of Bizet’s famous opera that turns its familiar melodies into something leaner, sharper, and impossible to ignore.
