From tragic to triumphant, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 is full of emotion and passion.  Equally as dramatic, the Immaculata Symphony was thrilled to welcome Janet Ahlquist back to the stage, as she performed Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43.  This inspirational concert concluded another exciting season led by Maestro Joseph Gehring.
