Brockton Symphony full of charm, romance

“The orchestra, under Cohler's guidance, brought a controlled sense of focus to the music [Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet Overture], building surely from the slow, mysterious opening through the lush, soaring themes to the thundering, repeated staccato climaxes.”“After intermission, Cohler and the orchestra turned to the ‘Enigma Variations,’...There is nothing, however, enigmatic about the music itself. It is bright, open, accessible and engaging—full of personality—and the orchestra gave it a performance that was itself rich with personality...the ‘Engima Variations’ is a substantial work that is nevertheless beguilingly attractive, and the orchestra displayed its considerable charms.”
