CLARKSVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Tickets are on sale now for the Gateway Chamber Orchestra’s 2019-2020 season, titled “Emotion Abounds.” This season, the GCO hopes to transport audiences through time and explore the passionate works that have influenced centuries of music.
This year’s programs feature favorite composers, including Mozart, Arnold Schoenberg and Franz Joseph Haydn, performed by some of the most accomplished musicians in the Southeast. Internationally acclaimed soloists are also scheduled to perform, including Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra principal flutist Lorna McGhee.
“The 2019-2020 season continues a thread from last season by featuring works and composers who have helped shape our unique musical voice,” said Gateway Chamber Orchestra Music Director Gregory Wolynec. “Each program will explore a wide range of emotions in collaboration with exhilarating soloists. The sublime beauty of Mozart’s ‘Gran Partita,’ the symphonic weight of Schubert’s ‘Tragic’ and the radiant glow of Schoenberg’s ‘Transfigured Night’ will be just a few of the highlights of the upcoming season.
In addition to the Masterworks Series, the Gateway Chamber Orchestra will offer a number of special events, including a family-friendly concert featuring Tchaikovsky and Ellington’s “Nutcracker Suite” with a special reading by celebrated author Anna Celenza. The second annual BBQ, Brews & Beethoven will feature Copland’s “Appalachian Spring,” local craft beer and BBQ.
The Gateway Chamber Orchestra performs at Austin Peay State University’s George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall, with events typically held on Sunday afternoons.
Season ticket packages for the Masterworks Series begin at $30 for students, $36 for military and $60 for adults. Family packages are available as well. Individual concert tickets will be available Sept. 3.
