In a month, Mistral presents its 25th Season Finale, Flights of Fancy, with a cast of nine artists in an eclectic program for winds and strings that soars across nationalities and centuries.

West Parish Church, Andover
Sunday, April 24, 5:00 pm,
St Paul’s Church, Brookline
Ibert, Dohnányi, Spohr
In this final program of our 25th season, BSO members Rachel Childers (horn) and Richard Ranti (bassoon) join clarinetist Todd Palmer, oboist Kemp Jernigan and myself on flute to play a flirty, fun, French woodwind quintet by Jacques Ibert. Cellist Sasha Scolnik-Brower flies in from Amsterdam to join our returning guest couple from the Chicago Symphony, violist Larry Neuman and violinist Qing Hou, for the riveting Dohnányi Serenade for String Trio. With Mistral's favorite bassist, Don Palma, the whole band comes together for a rousing finale with Spohr's beguiling and melodic nonet for winds and strings.
