RITORNANO
December 5, 2021
3:00 p.m.
Winspear Centre
USO performs live again! It's been two years since we shared music with a live audience. Join us as art mimics the events of the recent past.
Our journey starts with happiness and exuberance of Grieg's Holberg Suite and Haydn's Symphony No. 88 only to be followed by trials and tribulations contained within Shostakovich's Chamber Symphony. We end our journey with Wagner's Tannhauser Prelude, a triumphant and hopeful look toward the future. We are back!
