The Penfield Symphony Orchestra, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching the Rochester community for more than 60 years, will present “Musical Bonbons”—the third concert of its 67th season.

The concert commences with Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 in C major, nicknamed “Jupiter,” which includes fanfares, martial and lyrical elements, and flourishes, with a memorable final movement that stands out as a fitting conclusion to this dramatic symphony. This is followed by Berlioz’ Roman Carnival Overture, with orchestral fireworks in the composer’s brightest colors, intended as the prelude to the second act of his opera Benvenuto Cellini. When first performed in 1844 it had to be encored immediately! Next follows Alla Marcia from the Karelia Suite, which remains one of Sibelius’ most popular works with its memorable themes. The concert concludes with the Second Suite based on excerpts from Carmen, one of Bizet’s best-known works, which is widely praised for its popular melodies, harmony, atmosphere, and orchestration.

The concert will be held on February 13, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. at the Penfield High School Auditorium, located at 25 High School Drive in Penfield, New York. Tickets can be purchased online at www.penfieldsymphony.org, by phone at 585-872-0774, and at the door on the night of the concert.                   Tickets cost $15 for adults. For students of any age with a student ID, $1. Group rates are available for parties of six or more.

Directed by Dr. David Harman since 2000, this 90-piece orchestra enriches the community by providing fine music and a setting where both amateur and professional musicians perform a variety of classical music.
