The perfect concert for Valentine’s Day: a celebration of love, Broadway-style! You and your special someone are invited to start your romantic evening at the ASO Pops with love songs from movies and musicals: from the sophisticated (Cole Porter‘s “Begin the Beguine”) to the classics (a West Side Story medley) and mega-hits (“Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera).

BEETHOVEN Overture to King Stephan SIBELIUS Violin Concerto BRAHMS Symphony No. 1 |
 |
An audience favorite for more than a century, Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is a beautiful combination of lyricism and virtuosity—perfect for displaying the fiery talents of our soloist. As the Daily Telegraph raved, “From the moment he takes the stage, Grammy Award-nominee violinist Philippe Quint captivates audiences with his charismatic presence.” André Raphel Smith leads Brahms’s gripping First Symphony, which begins with a dramatic pulse in the timpani and ends with bright and brilliant horn calls.
“He looked like a modern day Paganini—and he played like one, too.” The Cincinnati Enquirer |
