This program showcases the rich, expressive sound of The Syracuse Orchestra string section. Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis weaves a centuries-old melody into glowing, layered textures that feel spacious and uplifting. The concert concludes with Arthur Honegger’s Symphony No. 2, written during World War II, whose dark intensity gradually gives way to a powerful sense of hope.
