The popular Hinsdale-based orchestra, led by Maestro Peter Lipari, performs under the stars at Cantigny Park for the first time since 2019. Bring a picnic and enjoy the show!
The symphony presents “Together Again,” an intermission-free performance featuring some of classical music’s most popular, and most emotional, masterpieces. Selections range from the somber, remembering the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the celebratory and triumphant. Highlights include Barber’s reflective Adagio for Strings; the soulful Adagietto from Mahler’s fifth symphony; Copland’s gentle Saturday Night Waltz; and Hayman’s joyful Pops Hoe Down. The orchestra will also perform Berlioz’s spirited Roman Carnival Overture, Rimsky-Korsakov’s resolute Procession of the Nobles, the majestic final movement of Beethoven’s Symphony 5, and the booming finale of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Founded in 1947 and based in Hinsdale, the West Suburban Symphony is conducted by Maestro Peter Lipari.
