SUMMARY:Hauntingly Halloween
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]On Halloween night\, the BPO transforms Kleinhans into a world of shadow\, suspense\, and orchestral storytelling. Led by Ron Spigelman\, this hauntingly atmospheric program brings together music made for goosebumps\, from Danny Elfman’s Wednesday and Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Picture Show to Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre. Each work builds tension\, drama\, and dark beauty\, creating a concert experience perfectly tuned to the spirit of the night. \nWhen the final note fades\, the evening continues. Stay after the concert for our Halloween Night Dance in the Mary Seaton Room\, with DJ Milk\, costumes encouraged\, and the bar open late. It is the ideal way to turn a concert into a full Halloween night out\, elegant\, playful\, and shared.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nRon Spigelman\, conductor\nJonathan Golove\, theremin cello\nSusan Lewis Friedman\, soprano\nGeorge Brown\, tenor \n\n\n\nSAINT-SAËNS\nDanse macabre\, Op. 40\n\n\nMUSSORGSKY (orch.
