Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic: Masterworks I “En Route to the World Premiere!”
Nov 4 @ 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic presents

Masterworks I “En Route to a World Premiere!”

Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Theatre | $76.00 – $38.00 & $16.00 Student Tickets | Reserved Seating

Join us for the World Premiere of a work commissioned by WVIA to commemorate the 50th anniversaries of both the NEPA Philharmonic and WVIA. Palma is a charming composition that reimagines the magical folktale of a young Italian violinist. The music by composer Dr. Paul Salerni and text by Dana Gioia
is narrated by WVIA’s legendary Erika Funke. Assisted by the Abington Heights chorus and orchestra, Palma celebrates the power of music and the beauty of friendship, loyalty, and love. The concert will also include Rossini’s thrilling William Tell Overture, and Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, an exhilarating and light-hearted piece that takes us on a journey through the rolling hills of Italy. Ah Italia!
