The Bucks County Symphony Orchestra announces its Spring Concert on Saturday, April 27 at 8:00 p.m. at Central Bucks High School South in Warrington. This special evening of great music celebrates the 70th anniversary of the BCSO’s inaugural concert in 1954.
Maestro José Luis Domínguez and the BCSO welcome violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn, who joins the orchestra in a performance of Johannes Brahms’ justly famous Violin Concerto in D. A native of Bucks County, Ms. Pitcairn has earned a stunning reputation as one of America’s most beloved soloists. She has appeared with numerous prestigious orchestras at the Academy of Music and Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and at Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. She performs with one of the world’s most legendary instruments, the “Red Mendelssohn” Stradivarius of 1720, said to have inspired the Academy Award–winning film The Red Violin.
The BCSO completes the festive evening with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, arguably the most famous orchestral work in the classical repertoire. First performed in Vienna in 1808, the Fifth has become one of the cornerstones of symphonic music. Deriving its distinctive power from an intense and ever-present rhythmic drive, the symphony moves from a sense of tragedy to one of ultimate triumph, a worthy exemplar of the emerging Romantic Era.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and free for students. Reserve online at BucksCountySymphony.org to guarantee admission. Visit the website for more information.
