The Cincinnati Civic Orchestra opens 83rd Season in Glendale

GLENDALE, OH (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Civic Orchestra, conducted by Glendale resident Larry Bonhaus, will open its 83rd season this Sunday October 23rd at 3:00 at the Glendale Lyceum. All Civic Orchestra concerts are free and open to the public.

The theme for this season is “Music of Amateur Composers Performed by an All-Volunteer Orchestra”.  Like our musicians, these well-known composers made their living in another field and composed music for the joy of it.  The Fall Concert will feature the Unfinished Symphony by Franz Schubert, a composer who made his living as headmaster of his father’s boarding school.  We will open with the Cockaigne Overture by Sir Edward Elgar, a lawyer, and end with Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, a Russian military officer. Also on the program is In the Steppes of Central Asia by Alexander Borodin, a Russian surgeon and chemist.
