The Chelsea Symphony to Open 'Flight Paths' Season with Tchaikovsky

Join The Chelsea Symphony's opening concert series of its 2016-17 season, "Flight Paths," on Friday, September 9, at 8:30 PM and Saturday, September 10, at 7:30 PM, at St. Paul's Church, 315 West 22nd Street.

Both concerts open with selections from Zhou Long's Chinese Folk Songs and close with the stunning Fourth Symphony by Tchaikovsky. Friday's concert features Rachel Seiden in her TCS solo debut performing the Strauss Concerto for Oboe and Saturday's concert welcomes back Erich Schoen-René on Elgar's elegiac Cello Concerto.

Tickets are available now on Eventbrite.

"Flight Paths" features music written by composers who have visited or immigrated to the United States of America. This season celebrates the diversity of musicians who have been inspired by, and made their mark on, this land we call home.

For more information on the pieces on the September concert series and our 2016-17 theme, visit our website at chelseasymphony.org.
