Symphony
Opens 2001-01 Concert Season on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 
Sept. 29, 2000 -- The Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra opens its 2000/2001 concert season with performances on Saturday, Sept. 30, at 8:15 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 1, at 3:30 p.m. in Old Cabell Hall Auditorium. Music Director Carl Roskott has chosen to kick off the Symphony season with music of Copland and Beethoven. The orchestra will celebrate the one-hundreth anniversary of Aaron Copland's birth with a performance of The Red Pony. The work is a six-movement suite, taken from Copland's score for the 1948 film of the same name. The film was based on a novel by John Steinbeck. The Symphony will conclude the concert with one of the great classical masterpieces of the orchestral repertoire: Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat "Eroica." Tickets for the performances may be reserved by calling the Cabell Hall Box Office at 924-3984. Tickets are $22/$15 for adults and $11 for students. The Box Office is open weekdays from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. and on concert weekends two hours prior to performance. A pre-concert lecture is given 45 minutes before each performance by the eminent professor Milos Velimirovic in the 200 seat auditorium at Minor Hall across the colonnade from Cabell. Pre-concert lectures are free to all ticket holders. Free parking is available in the large lot on Jefferson Park Avenue, across the street from Cabell Hall. CONTACT: Elizabeth Gatewood, 924-6505, or Marcy Day, 924-6492 |
