The evening continues to unfold with Ottorino Respighi's Fontane di Roma(Fountains of Rome), a sonic journey that vividly captures the splendor of the Eternal City. Concluding the performance is Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34, a charming showcase of Spanish-inspired motifs, transporting the audience with its vibrant rhythms and orchestral brilliance.
