About this Concert

Savor each note at this season’s Playlist: Symphony Happy Hour concerts—for the classical curious and those looking to share their love of music. Sip signature cocktails and mocktails, enjoy conductor insights, and mingle with musicians at these special one-hour concerts designed to inspire, relax, and spark conversation.

At this concert, imagine yourself strolling through a gorgeous art gallery as Pictures at an Exhibition conjures famous paintings, using melody and timbre as your guide.

- Playlist welcomes everyone curious about classical music—whether you’re coming to the symphony for the first time or diving deeper into a beloved piece. The conductor guides you through exactly what you’re listening to, making the experience accessible and engaging for all.
- Stick around after the concert to meet musicians. Also try the SLSO’s new Symphony Helles Lager, a crisp lager made exclusively for us by Perennial Artisan Ales.
- When Modest Mussorgsky walked through the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg, Russia, a flood of emotions filled his spirit. The art on display was by his close friend who had suddenly passed away at the age of 39. This experience was the spark for Pictures at an Exhibition.
