The next stop on the SSO’s musical journey around the world is A Visit to Vienna Saturday night. Superstars like Haydn, Brahms will be celebrated along with the work of Marianna Martines who was one of the most influential but forgotten female composers in history. She was a regular performer in the royal court in the 1700s but much of her work was lost after her death. The performance of Martines’ Sinfonia in C Major will be a Canadian premiere of her work. This live stream only performance will feature guest cellist Oleksa Mycyk and guest conductor Shah Sadikov. Tickets for the live stream are $15.
