SCHENECTADY-SARATOGA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA — CONCERT IV
POETIC ECHOES
🎻 The Saratoga Springs Symphony Orchestra wraps its season in style this weekend, teaming up with Saratoga Voices for a program that weaves together poetry and orchestral music. Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, and Shakespeare all make an appearance — through Florence Price, Vaughan Williams, and Mendelssohn, respectively — and the finale, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” is about as good a closer as you can ask for.
The concert is Saturday, April 18 at UPH, with a pre-concert talk led by Artistic Director Glen Cortese at 6 p.m. Tickets run $17–$24, and kids under 18 are free with a ticketed adult. Sunday matinee will be at Proctors.
