Carmen and La Mer will take you on an exhilarating trip to Spain and France. Experience the lively rhythms of Chabrier’s Espana Rhapsody for Orchestra, and be entranced by Ibert’s Flute Concerto, performed by the CSO’s principal flutist, Ysmael Reyes, as he celebrates his 20th anniversary season. Relish the dramatic selections from Bizet’s Carmen Suites No. 1 & 2 and let the picturesque sounds of Debussy’s La Mer transport you to the sea.
