Event

Penn Symphony Orchestra

December 6, 2024 (Friday) — 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Irvine Auditorium - Main Hall
3401 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 

Philadelphia Orchestra associate concertmaster Juliette Kang along with Penn Chamber director Thomas Kraines joins the PSO this evening for a magical rendition of Brahms' concerto for violin and cello.  The wondrous evening continues with Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, showcasing the many virtuosic sections of the orchestra.  Indeed, this work represents a new path of orchestral wizardry that has become the identity of the modern day orchestra.  Lots of notes, colors, rich harmonies and wild images being conjured up in this "fantasy" musical work from the French composer.  We hope to enjoy this night of music with you!

This event is free and open to the public.

ABOUT PENN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The University of Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1878 and is comprised of musicians from throughout the University community, primarily non-music majors. The ensemble rehearses for four hours each week and performs a diverse range of repertoire drawn from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth Centuries. The Penn Symphony Orchestra rehearses and performs in historic Irvine Auditorium on Penn’s Campus. Due to the increased number of student participation, the ensemble has expanded to two ensembles with rotating/interchangeable personnel.
