This program will lift your spirits and renew your soul with concert-style seating overlooking the beautiful waters of Buzzards Bay.

Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Winds is a rare gem showcasing our own principal musicians as soloists on oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn. It is music that breathes—full of dialogue, energy, and grace. A moment to simply sit back and let the sound of Mozart’s genius wash over you.

Overture to Il Guarany by Antônio Carlos Gomes is an exhilarating Brazilian overture bursting with bold brass, sweeping romance, and heroic flair. It’s a dramatic invitation to shake off the everyday and step into something grand.

Venezuela’s Evencio Castellanos composed Santa Cruz de Pacairigua as a riotous, rhythmic celebration of life. With percussive exuberance and colorful soundscapes, it’s music that pulses through your body—reminding us to move, to dance, to feel joy.

With Antonio Estévez’s Mediodía en el Llano, you will experience the orchestra’s lush tones evoking the stillness of the Venezuelan plains at midday. Every note is drenched in sunlight, inviting deep breath and calm reflection.

Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2 is a song of pure joy. It blends lively melodies with irresistible dance rhythms and creates connection between cultures, audience and orchestra, and body and soul.

Come let the music move you—from quiet renewal to joyful celebration.

Doors open at 1:45 PM

Arrive early. Breathe deeper. Feel more.
Before the music begins, join us for a calming 15-minute reset: The Mindfulness of Breath and Sound with Jeff Costa, co-founder of Sangha Yoga New Bedford. 

Held at 2:05 and 2:30 pm, this gentle workshop helps you slow down, settle in, and open your senses—so you can experience the concert with a relaxed body, a clearer mind, and a fuller heart.

Please note: There will be no pre-concert chat with Yaniv for this concert.
