Most symphonic concerts include at least one work designated as “People’s Choice,” chosen by our patrons through an audience survey.

Based on material from the opera Benvenuto Cellini, Berlioz’ brilliant Roman Carnival Overture features a famous solo for the English horn. Saint-Saëns’ melodic “Organ” Symphony, his best-known work, shows off the superb acoustics of Bass Performance Hall.
