A rare combination of unprecedented originality and blinding talent, The Drowsy Chaperone boldly addresses a great unspoken desire in all of our hearts: to be entertained. If you’ve ever sat in a dark theatre and thought, “Dear Lord in heaven, please let it be good,” this is the show for you! It all begins when a die-hard musical-theatre fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love.

Die Fledermaus
Johann Strauss’s bubbly tale of revenge and
adultery. Spend a riotous evening in the company of Gabriel von Eisenstein,
his beautiful wife Rosalinda, her besotted lover Alfred, the pert and saucy
parlor-maid Adele, and the wily Doctor Falke, as they confuse and amuse
themselves and us in a sophisticated hide-and-seek game of mistaken identity
that will spin you from the fabulously licentious ball of the eccentric
Russian Prince Orlofsky to a night in jail on charges of disorderly conduct.
A night of Viennese love, laughter and levity, where Champagne is King!

Copland: Lincoln Portrait William Perry, narrator
Hanson: Symphony No. 2, “Romantic”
Schubert: Symphony No. 8, “Unfinished”
plus solos by winners of the 2013–2014 Competition for Young Musicians
How did Franz Schubert write, publish, and perform a symphony without
actually finishing it? Are there more politics and humor to this story than
we might first realize? Join us as the Symphony investigates this musical
enigma and performs classics of the American repertoire: Aaron Copland’s
“Lincoln Portrait”, written in 1942 at the height of patriotic fervor during
WWII, featuring narrator and former Defense Secretary William Perry; and
Howard Hanson’s lyrical Symphony No. 2, one of the Eastman School of Music
director’s acclaimed works which eventually led him to a Pulitzer Prize.
Don’t miss this evening of musical excellence as we also feature the winners
of our student competition!
