Newark High School, Delaware Ave. -- Note Different Location!!

  • Hector Berlioz - Rob Roy Overture
  • Max Bruch - Scottish Fantasy
    --Kathleen Hastings, Violin--
  • Felix Mendelssohn - Symphony No. 3 in A Minor, "Scottish"


    • Even teetotalers will enjoy this "case of Scotch." Swaggering and lyrical, it is a sweeping musical panorama and a delightful opening to the concert season.

    Apocalyptic Canticles

    Loudis Recital Hall

  • George Frideric Handel/Edward Elgar - Overture in D Minor

    --Rosaria Macera, Conductor--
  • Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 4 in G
    --Shannon Coulter, Soprano--


    • Ride an emotional roller coaster as you experience Grieg's poignant interpretation of Ibsen's drama, taking you from the macabre and terrifying to the sylvan freshness of morning. Then glide to a smooth finish with Mahler's most happy symphony, featuring Philadelphia's Shannon Coulter.* *Ms. Coulter also stars in our Nov 13 Chamber Concert.

    The Indomitable Spirit
    -- Sunday, March 12, 7:30 P.M.

    --NSO Competition Winner - Patricia Moon, Violin--
  • Alexander Scriabin - Symphony No. 3 in C, "Devine Poem"


    • Like a Monet painting, this music is a rethinking of color and texture - a turning point in musical history. It will entice you with wit & character and, at times, mystery & decadence, but always with the fullness of human spiritual rapture.

    Opera Heroics
    -- Saturday, May 13, 7:30 P.M.
    Loudis Recital Hall

  • Giuseppe Verdi - Prelude, Ballet Music & Triumphal March from Aida
  • Concerto: Edvard Grieg - Piano Concerto
    --NSO Competition Winner - Roberta Watts, Piano--
  • Richard Wagner - Ring Cycle Excerpts
    A grand ending to our season. First, Aida, the very heart of Italian opera with its spectacular pageantry and twists of human conflict. Then, four symphonic selections from Wagner's fantastic vision of Teutonic mythology, including "Entry of the Gods into Vahalla" and the "Ride of the Valkyries."
