Lee Auditorium: Southern Pines

Share great moments in music with classical gems including Strauss' famous "Blue Danube" waltz and selections from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, along with Broadway hits including selections from The Phantom of the Opera and South Pacific.

Sometimes glimmering and inviting, sometimes billowing and ominous, the majestic sea has captured the imaginations of composers for centuries. NCS transports you to the watery realm with sensuous music.

The warmth and rejuvenation of spring come alive in music ranging from Beethoven’s expression of the bucolic countryside in his “Pastoral” Symphony, to Tchaikovsky’s depiction of a raging sea in The Tempest, to Wagner’s vision of enchanted woods in Forest Murmurs. These works and more will leave you with a renewed sense of gratitude for the beauty of nature.
