Chamber Orchestra Concert
April 27 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Step into a “Rags to Riches” musical adventure that leaps from the rhythmic spark of ragtime to the lush sweep of Tchaikovsky’s ballet world. Joplin’s The Cascades, Handy’s soulful Memphis Blues, and the regionally resonant Black Diamond Rag, a nod to our area’s proud anthracite coal heritage, bring color, character, and local spirit to the program. Rossini’s sparkling Il signor Bruschino Overture and Dvořák’s fiery Slavonic Dances drive the evening with wit, warmth, and rhythmic momentum. The night ends in pure orchestral glamour with the Waltz from Sleeping Beauty, a finale that shimmers with fairy‑tale elegance.
