December 5, 2009: Ho Ho Ho with the WSO--enjoy a classic and contemporary holiday celebration including selections from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, Handel's Messiah, and Elfman's A Nightmare before Christmas, as well as our annual holiday singalong of favorite carols.
February 13, 2010: Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves--enter the exotic and passionate world of exceptional classical music with guest conductor Roy Sonne of the Pittsburgh Symphony. Selections include Rossini's Overture to the Thieving Magpie, Strauss's Gypsie Barone and Bizet's seductive Carmen.
