The orchestra leads a journey through sweet dreams and nightmares, from the lighter tones of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Borodin’s Nocturne to the terror of Bernard Herrmann’s gripping Psycho Suite. The pinnacle of the evening is Mats Lidstrom’s string orchestra arrangement of the overture to Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, a hilarious opera of love and revenge.
