Cal Poly Symphony to Present Fall Concert Nov. 19

SAN LUIS OBISPO – The Cal Poly Symphony’s Fall Concert, titled “The Violin’s Voice,” will be the season opener at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19.

The concert, in Harman Hall in the Performing Arts Center’s Christopher Cohan Center, will be conducted by Music Department faculty member David Arrivée.

The concert will begin with Engelbert Humperdinck’s Overture to Hansel and Gretel, conducted by Cal Poly music student Amanda Yoshimizu.

Featured violin soloist Brynn Albanese will perform Ernest Chausson’s "Poème," which
according to Arrivée “is a lushly evocative fantasy for violin and orchestra.”

The orchestra will perform Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Sheherezade,” a four-movement depiction of tales from “1001 Nights” (“The Arabian Nights”).

Tickets for the concert are $6 for students, $8 and $10 for senior citizens and $10 and $12 for the public. They are on sale at the Performing Arts Ticket Office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. To order by phone, call SLO-ARTS (756-2787). Discounts are given to patrons who buy tickets to four or more Music Department events for 2006-2007.
