CSO Youth Orchestras Present Their Fall Concert

  • Thursday, October 23, 2014
The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera Youth Orchestras open their 2014-2015 season on Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at Ringgold High School with a concert performed by the Symphony Orchestra with Gary Wilkes conducting.  Also featured in the program is the 2nd place winner of the 2014 Concerto Competition, Nacor Lantigua.  The final selections on the program are the last two movements of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade.

"Scheherazade is one of the most popular, and most beautiful, of all orchestral compositions.
 Rimsky-Korsakov was a master at writing for the orchestra, exploiting the beauty and power of the various instruments and instrument groups in an endless variety of combinations and colors.  The music depicts the legendary Sultana and her attempt to stay alive by spinning nightly tales to distract her fearful husband (1001 Arabian Nights)," organizers said.

The CSOYO Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sandy Morris, will open the concert with a variety of works, from Brahms to The Great Locomotive Chase.  The Great Locomotive Chase is based upon an actual historical event which took place near Ringgold, Ga. during the Civil War when union spies attempted to destroy railroad tracks and bridges between Marietta and Chattanooga.

Tickets are $6 for adults, $4 for children, students, and seniors, and will be available at the door.  Doors open at 6:30 p.m.  Call 423-267-9011 for more information.
