UPDATE: THIS CONCERT HAS CHANGED. PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILS.
As we build on the success of this season, we want to update you on a few changes to our upcoming concert, previously titled ESTHER ABRAMI, scheduled for April 16, 2026.
We have changed both the concert venue and the guest artist for this concert. Our April 16th concert will now feature violinist RISA HOKAMURA at L’AUBERGE HOTEL AND CASINO! We are incredibly excited about the opportunity to feature the phenomenal Risa Hokamura and grateful to L’auberge for their hospitality; without them, this concert wouldn’t be possible.
The concert, now titled “SYMPHONY NIGHT AT L’AUBERGE,” will feature your Baton Rouge Symphony Chorus, led by Chorusmaster David Shaler, on the first half, with two thrilling Brahms pieces:
Gezang der Parzen (Song of the Fates)
Schicksalsied (Song of Destiny)
In our second half, you will be enthralled by our new guest violinist, Risa Hokamura! She will take the stage and perform with your BRSO on two extraordinary selections:
Dvorak: Romance in F minor, Op. 11 for Violin and Orchestra
Saint-Saens: Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A minor, Op. 28
As a courtesy, all current ticketholders have already been reassigned to the venue at L’auberge. Letters have also been mailed to all existing ticketholders with new tickets enclosed. Ticketholders have also been emailed with this information. We ask all ticketholders to please disregard any previous tickets that say 'Esther Abrami."
We truly appreciate your understanding as we navigate these exciting changes. If you have further questions, please call the Box Office at 225-383-0500 ext. 100, or email patron.services@brso.org.
