FLC’s Spooktacular Extravaganza

Embark on a spellbinding musical adventure filled with peril, love, and captivating stories.

This Halloween, the chills will be symphonic! Maestro Francesco and Snoopy will guide the Santa Rosa Symphony musicians to dress up in “sound costumes” inspired by beloved masterpieces like Bizet’s Carmen and Bernstein’s West Side Story. Then join Francesco in a captivating musical exploration of Rimsky-Korsakov’s masterpiece, Scheherazade.

In a kingdom gripped by a vengeful king’s fury, a glimmer of hope emerges. Scheherazade, a princess blessed with beauty and brilliance, devises a daring plan to save her sister and liberate the land. With each night, she weaves tales that enthrall the king, her voice weaving a tapestry of 1001 nights.

Unleash your inner royal! Dress as your favorite princess, prince, king, or queen.
