The Elgin Symphony Orchestra will continue its 76th Season Classics Series with a program of energy, elegance, and symphonic power Saturday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 12, at 2:30 p.m., at The Hemmens Cultural Center, 45 Symphony Way, Elgin. Led by ESO music director Chad Goodman, the concert will feature works by Quinn Mason, Robert Schumann, and Ludwig van Beethoven.
Cellist Oliver Herbert is featured in Schumann’s lyrical and emotionally rich Cello Concerto, a work known for its seamless flow and expressive character. The concert also will include Quinn Mason’s “A Joyous Trilogy,” a vibrant and rhythmic celebration by one of today’s most exciting young composers. The program concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, one of the most iconic and dramatic works in the classical repertoire.
A rising star in the world of classical music, Oliver Herbert has appeared as a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and New World Symphony. Praised for his “profound musicality and compelling stage presence,” Herbert brings technical mastery and deep artistry to every performance.
