Classical music ain’t stuffy

Some people hear the word “symphony” and think, That music’s not for me. Classical music is too stuffy. We’re out to prove you wrong.

Take this weekend’s concert for example. Hoedown by Aaron Copland sounds like a lot of fun – and it is! It’s as American as apple pie…

…or better yet, as American as beef. You probably remember the music from those classic beef commercials:

Classical music – it’s what’s for dinner.

Now you’ll really like the meat of the concert (pun absolutely intended): The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires by Astor Piazzolla. It’s tango music arranged for bandoneon (an accordion-like squeezebox from Argentina) and nylon guitar.

Who knew they even allowed those instruments on stage with an orchestra? Get a little taste of the style – you just might like it.

There’s so much to love, and this is just part of the concert! 

Plus, at intermission (halftime) our Music Director Michael Christie sits down and interviews the world-class musicians who just performed. You’ll get in their heads and learn so much about the music you just heard.

Feel free to make yourself at home in our concert hall. After all, we like to call it the “house.”

Tickets start at $30. See you at the concert!
