Join the Riverside County Philharmonic Orchestra for its spectacular opening concert on Saturday, September 27 as the Symphony Meets the Blues, starring blues harmonica legend, Corky Siegel, performing “Street Music” by William Russo.  Also on the bill,  Rachmaninoff’s “Symphony No.2.”

The Riverside county Philharmonic is taking orchestral performance to new dimensions, beyond your imagination.  This fresh style marks the season’s symphonic opener with harmonica soling by blues-great Corky Siegel.  And then, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2, a work of lush beauty and controversy.  When it was first performed in 1908, one critic, reacting to the music’s naked sensuality, called it “fit only for the residents of hell.”

Tickets via Ticketmaster starting at $10, with a $5 student rush one hour before the concert.  That’s September 27 at 8PM at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium for the Phil’s Season premiere as “Symphony Meets the Blues.”  For information, call 951-787-0251 or visit the Phil on the web at www.thephilharmonic.org.  The Riverside County Philharmonic Orchestra: “music beyond your imagination.”
