Orlando Philharmonic Season Opens

More local events from in and around the Highgate Park Orlando area as the Orlando Philharmonic opened its seventeenth season, the fourth under music director Christopher Wilkins, this weekend at the Carr Performing Arts Centre with an imposing concert given by more than 300 performers to a sold-out house.

The program featured two of the heaviest of musical heavyweights, Brahms' Variations on Theme by Haydn and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Both were given solid readings by the Philharmonic, who were joined in the second work by four excellent soloists and a combined chorus of more than 230 voices.

The evening began with the "Star-Spangled Banner," but with a twist, as has been Maestro Wilkins' habit on past season openers. The first sounds on this orchestral concert were the wordless intonation of the National Anthem by off-stage choral voices. Following one verse, the standard instrumental arrangement began, with the audience singing along.
