Classics Series
Beethoven’s music can reach across time into the heart and soul of an orchestra— and an audience—and lift them all to a level of human joy that words simply fail to reach. It’s a season of six concerts and seven Beethoven masterpieces. It’s his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th symphonies. It’s his Overture to Egmont and his 4th and 5th piano concertos. And there’s Mozart, Mendelssohn, Copland, Schubert and much, much more. A Beethoven spectacular featuring an award-winning orchestra, six young conductors on the threshold of major careers, and dynamic young soloists whose passion and energy ignite the air to create an experience that can only be described as “breathtaking.” Thursday and Friday evenings at 8pm, July 8th through August 13th, at Silver Center for the Arts, Hanaway Theatre. |
Chamber Music Series
Six chamber music concerts of works written for the Royal palaces of Europe. Masterful musicians of the Festival Orchestra perform in the beautiful, intimate and acoustically exquisite setting of Smith Recital Hall. Seating is limited, so order early! Tuesday evenings at 8pm, July 6th through August 10th, Silver Center for the Arts, Smith Recital Hall. |
