Nature is one of the greatest inspirations for artists of all kinds. The Oakville Symphony’s July concerts feature two composers whose appreciation of nature connects them across centuries and continents. The program opens with B.C. composer Leslie Opatřil’s vivacious portrait of Canada’s unofficial national bird, the whisky jack, and concludes with the sublime Fourth Symphony of renowned nature-lover Johannes Brahms.

We are also delighted to feature the brilliant cellist and Oakville native, Kendra Grittani, as soloist in Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major.

Guest Artist: Kendra Grittani
