100s of YOU helping make the 1812 Overture EXPLODE!
It all adds up to the BEST CONCERT EVER!
Join us on Sunday May 27, when the Youth Orchestras of Fresno will offer their annual Youth Music Extravaganza, this year featuring pianist Steven Vanhauwaert playing the Rachmaninoff Second Piano Concerto (CLICK HERE for a clip of a dream sequence from the 1955 Marilyn Monroe comedy The Seven Year Itch), along with great music by Glazunov and Shostakovich and, as promised, Tchaikovsky (his 1812 Overture...the one with the cannon fire written in).
All of our young musicians will be performing the Tchaikovsky—as will you, if you are in the audience. So don't miss this chance to have (and make) a blast!
The irrepressible Thomas Loewenheim conducts.
