Whether it's the light-hearted joy described in Linda Robbins Coleman's Lunatics and Lovers, the soulfulness of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, performed by guest clarinetist Michael Wayne, the chivalric passion in Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod or the dramatic tragedy of Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini.
