The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Adored for centuries for its heartwarming "Air on the G String," Bach's Third Orchestral Suite illuminates Baroque dance forms with radiant brass, thunderous timpani, and serenading strings. And Mendelssohn sings ecstatic hymns of praise in his Second Symphony, uniting choir and orchestra in a life-affirming call to "cast off the works of darkness and take up the armor of light."
