Description

It's all here! Where else can you find the overtures to The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Mendelssohn), and The Barber of Seville (Rossini) all in one place; plus iconic melodies from Pachelbel’s Kanon, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, and Beethoven’s fifth AND ninth symphonies? But wait, there’s more! Michael Glasgow’s brilliant commissioned medley, inspired by Hooked on Classics, also includes Offenbach’s Can Can, Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, the Hallelujah from Handel’s Messiah, and other works by Gounod, Chopin, Brahms, Delibes, Wagner (and if you’re into schtick, Puccini and Grieg, too)! Challenge your audience to count how many tunes they hear in this phenomenal concert finale or encore.
