We bring Mistral’s 26th season to a close with four ravishing orchestral works in new chamber arrangements performed without a conductor. This is an ambitious program for an ensemble of thirteen (winds, harp, strings, and brass), including a world-premiere performance of an arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, as well as three beautiful renditions of other tales from around the world—Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite, Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite, and Fauré’s Pelleas & Mélisande.
