Skidmore Orchestra Blockbuster Romantic Concert On Saturday, October 29, at 8pm, the Skidmore College Orchestra will perform a concert of ‘Romantic Blockbusters!’ Featured in the concert will be the world famous tone poem “Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks” by Richard Strauss, a musical journey and depiction of the 600 year old prankster “Till” whose antics are mirrored in the music to such a degree that you can nearly see poor “Till” on stage joking, playing pranks on the orchestra, and then being caught by ‘the law’ and forced to pay the ultimate penalty for tweaking the nose of the authorities (or the audience!). Strauss’s work is considered a masterpiece of orchestral writing and is the most challenging Romantic Era composition the Skidmore Orchestra has ever attempted in its 34+ year history. Tickets are $8 for General Admission, $5 Seniors, free for students. For more information, visit www.Skidmore.edu/Zankel.
