Duke Symphony Orchestra: Classical to the Core
The Duke Symphony Orchestra presents "Classical to the Core," a program spanning elegance, lyricism, and sweeping orchestral power.
Tchaikovsky's beloved Serenade for Strings opens the concert with lush melodies, graceful dances, and spirited energy. Pianist Vicky Yang '25 then joins the orchestra for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat Major, a work filled with wit, drama, and dazzling musical conversation. The evening concludes with Sibelius's Symphony No. 3 in C Major, a bold and compelling work that balances Classical clarity with the composer's unmistakable Nordic voice.
Together, these works celebrate the enduring vitality of the orchestral tradition and the remarkable range of the Duke Symphony Orchestra.
This event is free and open to the public. All are welcome.
