Flint Symphony Orchestra: Shostakovich & Tchaikovsky
Conductor Enrique Diemecke leads the Flint Symphony Orchestra and the Flint Youth Symphony Orchestra together on Saturday, March 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Whiting Auditorium in Flint. The program pairs Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky with a contemporary piece, with tickets from $28.
The program has three pieces: Shostakovich's Festive Overture, the contemporary Dos Visiones (Two Visions) by Ana Lara and Robert Maggio, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 in F Minor. The professional and youth orchestras play side by side, bringing seasoned players and rising talent onto one stage.
An Inside the Music pre-concert talk starts at 6:30 p.m. At intermission, students 13 and older can go backstage, meet the musicians and enjoy Enzo's pizza; pick up a pass at the welcome table before the concert. It runs about 2 hours with intermission and is family friendly, but expect a full orchestra with percussion at loud volume. An ASL interpreter will be there; to sit in the ASL section, contact the FIM Ticket Center or ask an usher. You can save 15% on a 3+ show package, groups of 10+ get special pricing, and veterans get a day-of-show offer.
