Peter Oundjian and the TSO celebrate the beauties of nature and the relaxation of country living in this fascinating program. In a major world première, celebrated composer Philip Glass re-imagines Vivaldi's famous pictorial violin concertos in his own, unique way. Beethoven's gentlest symphony portrays the sights, sounds, and the refreshing pace of life outside the city.
