We are celebrating Sounds of Drama! Silver-Screen Drama, that is! Hear it all on the radio during the show Joy of the Orchestra with the LaGrange Symphony’s Richard Prior. It airs Tuesday, November 10th, 2020 at 7:30 PM on WELR (Eagle 102.3 FM). This is an hour-long show that spotlights different orchestral music each week with commentary by Maestro Richard Prior. This time we are considering the “Sounds of Drama” concert event from September 24, 2019.
Wonderfully played by the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Richard Prior, this concert was an epic event. It was selected as the season opener of the 30th Anniversary Season of the LSO. The 2019-2020 season turned out to be dramatically halted as the pandemic emerged. We have had quite a bit of drama this year, but here is a chance to escape to a galaxy far, far away – at least for a little while. Tune-in on Tuesday and share this wonderful music with us. If you would like to read a review of the September 24th, 2019 live concert performance click HERE.
The drama in this concert is wonderfully uplifting with pieces from Star Wars, Star Trek, The Dambusters and more! Join us for an episode that evokes a welcome positive association with the term – drama. This show also features Dukas: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which you will most likely recognize how it was used for Disney’s Fantasia. It will be a great show!
