DuPage Symphony Orchestra "Orchestra of the Year!"
Hear the Illinois Council of Orchestra's 2013 Community Orchestra of the Year—the DuPage Symphony—in an all-orchestral program that showcases the warmth of the string sections, the virtuosity of the woodwinds, the resonance of the brass, and the power of the percussion. On the 200th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi's birth, the orchestra will present his Overture to the opera "Nabucco," along with Ludwig van Beethoven's exquisitely suggestive Symphony No. 6 in F Major, subtitled "Pastoral," and Modest Mussourgky's towering "Pictures at an Exhibition," rendered unforgettable by Maurice Ravel's masterful orchestration. This program guarantees a brilliant evening of orchestral splendor.
