​Put on your dancing shoes for this trio of delightful works. Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite, derived from his ballet of the same name, salutes the Italian commedia dell’arte tradition with an assortment of Baroque dances including music attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi. The waltzing continues with Bach’s Suite No. 2, featuring the Symphony’s very own principal flute Sue Makeever and the badinerie - a favorited lively movement in the suite with its playfully virtuosic, perpetual motion, and simply a delight to watch as it is performed. Brahms’ lush treatment of old-fashioned counterpoint in Variations on a Theme by Haydn draws the performance to a close.

BACH Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067
