As we approach the final concert of this season’s festival, The Final Countdown draws together a tapestry of musical voices—nostalgic, fiery, sacred, and celebratory. This program moves across eras and continents, opening with refined elegance and closing with the passionate pulse of popular tradition. Strings and winds, piano and bayan intertwine in a genre-crossing journey that bids farewell not with solemnity, but with soul. A light reception will follow.
