The musical theme for this full concert by the SBSO is love and passion. There will also be a special preview of the SBSO’s upcoming production of “West Side Story” with South Bend Civic Theatre this October.
Four violinists ― Ruth Halperin, Kotaro Tsuji, Erika Ruiz and Danielle Williamson ― and a cellist, Micah Gresl-Turner, from the South Bend Youth Symphony Orchestras also perform with the SBSO to represent the community play-along portion of the concert.
The program includes Tchaikovsky’s Polonaise from “Eugene Onegin,” two excerpts from Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Offenbach’s Barcarolle from “Les Contes d’Hoffmann” and four pieces from “West Side Story,” among other classical and popular works.
WVPE-FM (88.1) will offer a simulcast of the performance, including a special Q&A with Music Director Alastair Willis and Civic Executive Director Aaron Nichols. It also will stream at wvpe.org.
Further updates will be posted to cfsjc.org and facebook.com/CommunityFoundationSJC.
Admission is free.
