PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY TO HOLD FALL CONCERT
Posted on September 16, 2010
California University will continue a fall tradition by
playing host to a performance by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Students, faculty, staff and the California community may
attend the concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 12 in Steele Hall Mainstage Theatre. The program includes the Overture to Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss Jr.; Concerto No. 1 in G minor for
Violin and Orchestra, Opus 26, by Max Bruch; and Symphony No. 39 in E-flat
major, K. 543, by Wolfgang Amade' Mozart. The PSO first performed on the California campus in 1994,
and the fall concert has become an annual event. Each spring, Cal U students,
alumni and University friends travel to Pittsburgh for a symphony performance
in Heinz Hall. Students who wish to attend the Oct. 12 performance will be
admitted free with a CalCard. Cost is $10 for other members of the Cal U
community or the general public. Tickets are available at the Steele Hall Box Office; call
724-938-5943. *** The California University Alumni Association will host a
pre-symphony reception to support the Alumni Scholarship Fund. PSO conductor
Thomas Hong is expected to attend the gathering of Cal U alumni and friends at
6:45 p.m. in the Kara Alumni House. Hearty hors d'oeuvres and limited bar
service will be offered. Cost is $75 for the reception, symphony performance and
optional shuttle service between the Alumni House and Steele Hall. A portion of
the ticket price benefits the Alumni Scholarship Fund and is tax-deductible. Visitor parking is available in the Vulcan Garage, near the
campus entrance. For reception tickets or more information about the Alumni
Association benefit, contact administrative assistant Montean Dean at dean@calu.edu or 724-938-4418.
