Cellobration!

What better way to celebrate 65 years of symphonic joy than with a Cellobration!? Our 65th Anniversary Season opens with the spotlight on the cello, with a bold blend of sound and spirit. “Bach, Bohemia, & a Bit of Jazz” showcases the expressive power of the cello—solo, soulful, and swinging—a vibrant night of storytelling.

You’ll hear J.S. Bach’s iconic solo cello—pure and introspective—followed by Dvořák’s warm and spirited “Serenade for Winds,” and concluding with Friedrich Gulda’s wildly entertaining “Cello Concerto,” where classical meets jazz, rock, and the unexpected.

Performed at the Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience (the MAX), this one-of-a-kind concert blends elegance, energy, and a few surprises, kicking off a season that honors our past and dares to dream into our future. Let the Cellobration begin!
