The program is geared toward the young at young-at-heart; audience members of all ages will enjoy this terrific, free performance which will take place at Western Connecticut State University’s Veronica Hagan Concert Hall, a part of the Visual and Performing Arts Center on the westside campus at 43 Lake Avenue Extension in Danbury.
A guest soloist will be featured on this program. Alina Shuyun Xiao, pianist, won the Danbury Symphony Orchestra concerto competition in November, and she will play the first movement of Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Symphony. Alina is a student of Margarita Nuller at Kent School.
Danbury Symphony Orchestra will also play selections from Herbert Baumann’s ballet, “Alice in Wonderland.” This exciting music is sure to capture the imagination, as it illustrates scenes from Lewis Carroll’s famous tales.
The afternoon’s concert will begin with a brief performance by the Danbury Preparatory String Orchestra, conducted by Glen Lebetkin. The Danbury Preparatory String Orchestra, which features young and adult musicians from throughout the greater Danbury area, will perform selections from the popular Disney movie Frozen as well as a “Celtic Canon,” accompanied by Irish step dancers. Mr. Lebetkin and his orchestra invite “all princes and princesses” to come to the concert in costume, and to join the orchestra onstage to experience the music up close.
Danbury Symphony Orchestra and Danbury Preparatory String Orchestra are both part of Danbury Music Centre, a classical music organization that has been a part of Main Street, Danbury since 1935.
