Four composers who clearly “speak through their music” will be heard this evening as Carmel Symphony Orchestra (CSO), under Artistic Director Janna Hymes, presents the season’s Masterworks 2 program.
The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts (CPA), 1 Carter Green, Carmel.
The program includes selections from Russian composer Mikhail Glinka (Russlan and Ludmilla Overture), Mexico’s Arturo Marquez (Danzon No. 2) and Ballet Suite No. 1 from Russia’s Dmitri Shostakovich. The evening’s featured selection is Symphony No. 3 in C Minor from Arkansas-born Florence Smith Price, who was the first African-American female composer to have a symphonic composition performed by a major American symphony orchestra.
Tickets for Masterworks 2 start at just $20 for adults, and are available at CarmelSymphony.org. Abundant free parking – curbside or garage – is available within a short walk of the Palladium.
