Boston Conservatory at Berklee's fall Center Stage season concludes with an uplifting matin e of beloved orchestral works at Boston's historic Symphony Hall. Boston Conservatory Orchestra: Telling the Story will take place on Sunday, October 27 at 3:00 p.m.

Under the direction of conductor and professor Bruce Hangen, Boston Conservatory Orchestra will perform a program celebrating the art of vivid storytelling through music. The cinematic and colorful repertoire will feature Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, about a storytelling sultana who saves her own life by recounting a thousand and one tales; the orchestral suite from Richard Strauss's comic opera Der Rosenkavalier (Cavalier of the Rose), which begins its action-packed story with a ceremonial silver rose; and contemporary composer Quinn Mason's fun and festive Toast of Town Overture.

Boston Conservatory Orchestra: Telling the Story is a truly special concert in one of the most outstanding concert halls in the world, said Hangen. This program is a powerful and moving experience, featuring several beloved pieces of classical music. I am thrilled to present such incredible works alongside the Boston Conservatory Orchestra, featuring the best of the next generation of classical musicians, at Symphony Hall.

Boston Conservatory Orchestra: Telling the Story will take place at Symphony Hall, located at 301 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 27. Tickets are $17 for regular seating and $12 for seniors, alumni, and non-Berklee students. Berklee students, faculty, and staff can claim two tickets in person at the Symphony Hall Box Office by presenting their Berklee ID.
