UNCSA Symphony Orchestra Birthday Celebration

The UNCSA Symphony Orchestra celebrates four special birthdays.  American composer Elliott Carter turns 100 in December, and to honor the occasion Maestro Ransom Wilson will conduct Carter’s Holiday Overture.  October 25 is Georges Bizet’s 170th birthday, so the orchestra will join forces with the Schools of Drama and Design and Production in Gerald Freedman’s English adaptation of Alphonse Daudet’s L’Arlésienne, with incidental music by Bizet.  Another October 25 birthday belongs to Johann Strauss, Jr., for whom the orchestra will perform a festive selection of waltzes and polkas.  Last, but not least, October 25 is our very own Maestro Wilson’s birthday.
