2011 TD Bank Summer Festival Tour: Symphony Royale

Enjoy
music fit for a king…or a summer evening in Vermont! Handel’s fireworks
begin the program and Northstar’s fireworks conclude it, in this
musical homage to royalty. Our noble procession includes Scheherazade’s
Kalendar Prince, the King and Queen of Troy, and the King of Siam. In
honor of Independence Day, we celebrate our freedom from monarchical
rule with America’s own version of royalty, Duke Ellington! The
performance is crowned, as always, by the majestic 1812 Overture and
selections from Sousa, the March King.

Presented by the Windham Foundation as a benefit for the Grafton Fund and the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center
