About this concert
The season opens with a Halloween-flavored program of orchestral showpieces, from Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries and Saint-Saëns's Danse Macabre to Berlioz's March to the Scaffold and Dukas's Sorcerer's Apprentice. Anthony DiLorenzo's Dracula Suite and other spooky selections fill the second half.
