Macon-Mercer Symphony Orchestra
MAKE MORE MUSIC MONDAYS
Symphony, redesigned with you in mind. The first season of the symphony was anything but ordinary. From hip-hop to Haydn, from Otis Redding Foundation students to beloved classical composers, the orchestra was the place to be. The Grand Opera House was filled with the joy of music, the power of community and Mercer University’s McDuffie Center Young Artists collaborating with musicians from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
Buy online below or call the box office at 478-301-5470. All shows are proudly presented at The Grand Opera House at 7:30 p.m. with single tickets ranging from $25-35 and students free with valid ID.
Monday, Nov. 21
Jeffrey Turner, conductor
Aaron Diehl, piano
Bernstein Overture to Candide
Dvořák Symphony no. 9, E Minor, “From the New World”
Gershwin Concerto in F major
A thoughtful MMSO concert highlights the diversity of American experiences: “From the New World,” created when Czech-born Dvořák was working in the U.S., and one of the most popular orchestral pieces from an American composer, Bernstein’s Candide overture. Jazz virtuoso Aaron Diehl will take on Gershwin, an American icon, in Concerto in F.
STUDENT SEATS ARE ALWAYS FREE AT THE SYMPHONY!
