Kankakee Valley Symphony Orchestra Concert

Kankakee Valley Symphony Orchestra will present its last formal concert of the season on Sunday, April 23 at 7:00 pm. at Kresge Auditorium, Larsen Fine Arts Center at ONU. The theme of this concert is “The Power of Music” and will most certainly showcase the power that music evokes. The program features the commanding Symphony #5 by Dmitri Shostakovich, one of the most interesting and massive works written in an effort to save Shostakovich’s career, as well as his attempt to artistically express his disdain for what was happening politically in Russia in 1937. Also on the program will be Henry Mancini’s arrangement of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar and John Whitney’s arrangement of Howard Shore’s Symphonic Suite for Lord of the Rings. Listeners will be elated with the strong sound coming from the orchestra.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for students, and they can be purchased at the door or on line. More information can be found at kvso.org and Facebook at symphony.kvso.org.
