Pittsburgh Philharmonic presents 'emotional roller coaster' concert

An “emotional roller coaster” is how maestro Daniel Nesta Curtis describes the upcoming Pittsburgh Philharmonic concert “Heartbreak at the Symphony” on March 21.

“This music,” said Curtis, “is incredibly dramatic.”

The Pittsburgh Philharmonic will perform the prelude and the ending to Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde,” Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture,” and Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2 during a 90-minute show.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Succop Theater at Butler County Community College.

Tickets cost $15 for reserved seating, $13 for senior citizens age 65 and older and $10 for students, and are available at bc3.edu/theater, or by calling 724-284-8505.

Prior to the Pittsburgh Philharmonic’s concert, BC3’s Mary Hulton Phillips Gallery at BC3 will host the opening of an art exhibit called “Revealed,” by Kathy Strauss at 6 p.m. The opening of the exhibit is free.

BC3’s Succop Theater will also host in its spring 2020 Performing Arts season Blue Jupiter on April 8, and the Pittsburgh Philharmonic’s performance of “Fantastic Finale” on May 16.
