The Charlotte {NC] Symphony & Chorus
When we think of a “symphony” what usually comes to mind is a large orchestral work. However, the original meaning of “symphony” was “a mingling of sounds or voices.”
Which brings us to the choral symphony for orchestra and mixed voices.
In this hour, some of the best, including works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Vaughan Williams, Stravinsky, and more.
