The Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra has announced “Little Symphonies,” a performance on Feb. 1 that highlights classical symphonies throughout multiple musical styles and eras. The performance will be held at the Broome County Forum Theatre in Binghamton.
Led by Music Director Maestro Daniel Hege, the performance will include Béla Bartók’s “Romanian Folk Dances,” W.A. Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante,” Franz Schubert’s “Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major” and Quinn Mason’s “Petite Symphonie de Chambre Contemporain.”
At just 28, Mason’s works have spread across the world, including performances by the San Francisco and Seattle Symphonies. Along with his pieces, Mason has appeared as a conductor with the National Symphony Orchestra, Houston Ballet Orchestra and more. The Dallas-based composer will be in attendance of “Little Symphonies” to greet the audience.
The Binghamton Philharmonic, established in 1955, has served up to 10,000 people annually through unique, community-engaging and affordable programming. Under the music direction of Maestro Daniel Hedge since 2018, the Philharmonic has served its mission of “Building Community Through the Power of Live Music.”
Prior to the concert, the public is invited to a Pre-Concert Chat at 2:30 p.m., titled, “Music and Art in a Police State: The Case of Franz Schubert,” which will be held by the Philharmonic’s Director of Education and Community Engagement Dr. Julia Grella O’Connell.
