Join the Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra for its season finale on Saturday, May 18 at the Upper St. Clair Theater, 1825 McLaughlin Run Road in Upper St. Clair. This season of “Tell Me A Story” concludes with tales from Hungary, Germany, Austria, and a Czech’s interpretation of “the New World.”
The PCO will present Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, From The New World. Dvorak composed the piece in 1893, and it is one of the most popular pieces of music in the romantic repertoire. In addition, the PCO is proud to feature its own Alicia Whitney, bassoon, who will play the soulful Andante e Rondo Ungarese, Op. 35 by the German Carl Maria von Weber. The orchestra will also perform Serenade by the Hungarian composer Gyula Beliczay along with the delightful Wine, Women, and Song, Op. 333 by the Austrian waltz king, Johann Strauss. As Strauss once said, "Who does not love Wine Wife & Song will be a Fool for his Lifelong!”.
The concert begins at 7:30 pm. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Prices range from $15.00 for adults, $10.00 for seniors, $5.00 for students 13 and older; children 12 and under are free. Group rates are available. For more information call 412-279-4030 or visit the PCO’s website at www.pittsburghcivicorchestra.org
