Music from Broadway is coming to Prince William County for one night only this spring.
On March 7, 2020, at 7:30 pm at the Hylton Performing Arts Center, the MSO, under the baton of Music Director, James Villani, takes the stage for a concert titled “American Idols”, with music from three of America’s greatest composers: Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and Howard Hanson.
The highlight of the evening’s performance is one of Bernstein’s most popular works, Symphonic Dances from “West Side Story.” The score brings together the musical’s most famous songs (“Somewhere,” “Maria”) and dances (“Mambo,” “Cha-cha,” “Rumba”), as well as the opening confrontation of the Jets and Sharks in the “Prologue” to the tragic “Finale.”
Tickets are available from the Hylton Center Box Office or by calling 703-993-7759. All children and student tickets (through college) are free.
