    Mahler’s “Titan”

    E.J. Thomas Hall 198 Hill Street, Akron, OH, United States

    The season begins with an electrifying evening of symphonic grandeur.

    The Firebird

    E.J. Thomas Hall 198 Hill Street, Akron, OH, United States

    We’ve loaded this concert with cinematic drama. Eidelman’s world premiere of The Tempest evokes a storm of Shakespearean mystery, Elfman’s Sleepy Hollow casts an orchestral chill through the hall, while Rachmaninoff’s Isle of the Dead is gorgeously gothic. Finally, Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite swoops in and sets the evening ablaze. It’s mythical, magical, and musically magnetic in the best way. This one’s for the movie lovers, the fantasy fans, the thrill-seekers. You don’t need to know classical music to enjoy it… You just need a pulse! All concerts take place at E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall, located on the campus of The […]
