The 2025 Festival was a sucessful two-week long marathon for orchestra and audience alike. During the first week we explored the lesser known work Creatures of Prometheus. It was a thrill to perform not only the Creatures overture but some of Beethoven’s most rare gems including a solo for Basset Horn and his only use of orchestral harp! We followed that with the ever popular Symphony No. 7 in A major.

During the following week we performed a concert hall staple, the overture to Egmont. The first half closed with the 8th Symphony in F major. We closed the festival with the addition of a choir for Beethoven’s Mass in C - much less performed than Missa Solemnis but still impactful and a real treat for our combined forces of almost 80 musicans!
