Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra celebrating 60 years with a 'Brass Blowout' Nov. 13
On Saturday, Nov. 13, the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of music director and conductor Stephen Alltop, continues its "Music Alive" season of spectacular music-making with "Brass Blowout."
This is part of a year-long celebration of the 60 seasons the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra has been bringing exceptional orchestral performances to the western suburbs and beyond.
"Brass Blowout" will delight you with selections by familiar and well-loved composers, including early 20th-century composers Manuel de Falla's Suites Nos. 1 and 2 from "The Three-Cornered Hat;" Maurice Ravel's "Boléro;" and Ottorino Respighi's "The Pines of Rome," as well as 19th-century Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Mvt. 3, featuring guest artist pianist Shivshankar Prasad, the 2020 Stanger Audition winner.
You are invited to join us for this memorable evening of music at 7 p.m at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church.
This concert is dedicated to the late Fred Hodge, a long-time friend and generous supporter of the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra. The performance of "The Pines of Rome" is underwritten by a generous gift from Ralph Maxson.
