Hershey Symphony Orchestra Heats Up February With Gypsy Passion

It can be cold in February but The Hershey Symphony Orchestra's next concert, "Gypsy Passion," will warm everyone's spirit with love and adventure. The concert will be performed on Friday, February 16, 2018 at 8 p.m. at The Hershey Theatre.

Joining the Hershey Symphony Orchestra once again will be violinist Odin Rathnam, performing Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy Airs), a characteristic work comprised of Hungarian folk melodies. In keeping with the themes of freedom, adventure and, especially, romance, the orchestra will perform Johann Strauss's "Gypsy Baron" Overture, George Enescu's Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 and the fourth movement of Arnold Schoenberg's orchestration of Brahm's Piano Quartet in G Minor, Op 25.

The Hershey Symphony Festival Strings and Hershey Symphony Powerhouse Strings join the orchestra for Verdi's popular "Anvil Chorus" from Il Trovatore and 2017 Young Artist Competition winner Emily Chung performs the third movement of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor.

Individual tickets for this concert are on sale at the Hershey Theatre Box Office at (717) 534-3405.
