For his debut appearance as a soloist with the HSO, Concertmaster Peter Sirotin has chosen the tuneful violin concerto from 1904 by the Russian composer, Alexander Glazunov. Stuart Malina also conducts the sparkling symphony that Mozart wrote for the city of Prague and concludes with Elgar’s fantastic collection of ingenious musical portraits known, somewhat cryptically, as the Enigma Variations.

February Masterworks from Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra on Vimeo.
The boundless resources of the full symphony orchestra and the virtuosity of the HSO are on full display in these three masterpieces by Stravinsky, Ravel and Strauss. The three pieces may have been written within three years of each other, but stylistically they couldn’t be more different. An exhilarating mid-winter program guaranteed to heat up the Forum!

May Masterworks from Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra on Vimeo.
Pianist Ann Schein dazzled HSO audiences when she played Chopin here in 2014. She returns to conclude our season with the monumental Third Concerto of Rachmaninoff. This typically colorful Russian program also includes the tuneful Suite from The Comedians by Kabalevsky and the astonishing First Symphony of the 19-year old Shostakovich, certainly one of the greatest first symphonies ever written.
All concerts are at the Forum in downtown Harrisburg, behind the Capitol, with Saturday concerts beginning at 8:00 and Sunday concerts beginning at 3:00. There are pre-concert talks an hour before each performance in the auditorium and for those with “Musical Chairs” tickets, a special “Welcome to the Concert” for students at the far-right end of the front lobby.
