The Ensemble Monterey Chamber Orchestra begins a gala 20th Anniversary Season with a classic Halloween concert on October 29th and 30th. Bassoonist Jane Orzel will expire as the soloist in Michael Daugherty’s Dead Elvis while operatic soprano Lori Schulman meets a grizzly fate as a vampire victim in David Del Tredici’s Dracula! Other scary favorites include Saint Saëns’ Dance Macabre, the Funeral March for a Marionette, New Moon from the “Twilight Saga” and of course, Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
For those with the courage to attend, Ensemble Monterey’s Halloween Concert is presented on Saturday, October 29 at 8 PM in the MPC Music Hall, and on Sunday, October 30th at 7 PM at the new Cabrillo College Recital Hall. For a truly terrifying experience come 1 hour early to each concert for a free pre-concert talk and reception with Dr. John Anderson, and yes, do come in costume!
Tickets for Ensemble Monterey’s Halloween Concert are available by calling 333-1283, or on the web at http://ensemblemonterey.org/.
