The Delaware County Symphony offers music by 19th and 20th-century composers inspired by the myths and legends of the past.

This “Myths and Legends” concert, featuring mezzo-soprano Kathryn Leemhuis, will take place March 5, 3 PM, in Neumann University’s Meagher Theatre.

The concert opens with two works by the great French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.

The orchestra will first perform Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and will then be joined by mezzo-soprano Kathryn Leemhuis in Ravel’s Scheherazade. 

Following the intermission, the DCS will perform the second suite from Aram Khachaturian’s ballet Spartacus and the ever-popular symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Paul Dukas.

Tickets for the concert may be purchased at dcsmusic.org/tickets.

Guest speakers from Neumann University and the Delaware County Symphony will present a short talk before the concert so you can more fully appreciate the performance by DCS musicians and guest soloists.
