We invite you to join the Women's Orchestra of Arizona's (WOA) final concert of the 2024-2025 season, set for Sunday.  This dynamic performance will feature a program of inspiring works, including Hector Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture, Susan Kowalske's Unstoppable, and Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7.

The concert will begin with Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture, a vivid and exhilarating piece inspired by his opera Benvenuto Cellini. Bursting with energy, the overture is full of vibrant melodies and bold orchestration. Its lively spirit evokes the excitement of a carnival and showcases Berlioz's mastery in creating dramatic, colorful musical landscapes.

One of the highlights of the concert will be Unstoppable, a composition by Susan Kowalske, inspired by Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. The piece pays tribute to the quiet strength of women who, like the character Beth March, often work behind the scenes—raising families and making sacrifices that go unnoticed. Unstoppable celebrates these women who are truly unstoppable in their devotion and resilience, honoring the quiet heroes whose contributions are vital yet often invisible.

Closing the program will be Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, one of the composer's most celebrated works. Known for its infectious rhythmic drive and jubilant character, the symphony captures the essence of triumph and vitality. The second movement is a masterful exploration of intensity and emotion, contrasting beautifully with the work's overall exuberance. Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 remains a favorite for its infectious energy and emotional depth.

This concert promises to be an unforgettable experience, with a powerful mix of classical masterpieces and a deeply personal contemporary work. Don't miss the opportunity to witness the Women's Orchestra of Arizona's extraordinary musicianship at this concert.
