Win tickets to Fresno Philharmonic’s ‘Nature Speaks’ concert

Philip Levine, left, and Benjamin Boone.

You can win a pair of tickets to the Fresno Philharmonic’s next Masterworks concert, billed as “Nature Speaks” (7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 16, Saroyan Theatre.) The poetry of Philip Levine serves as the basis for Fresno composer Benjamin Boone’s Waterless Music, a meditation on the Central Valley’s most critical natural resource. It is paired with Beethoven’s brilliant evocation of nature in his Symphony No. 6. Acclaimed violinist Sirena Huang makes her Fresno debut in American composer Samuel Barber’s lyrical Violin Concerto.
