Classical Detours - Austrian Sweets

  Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 6:30pm

Marin Alsop, conductor
Andrea Kaplan, flute

Over the last few centuries composers have felt the need to go to Vienna: Mozart, Beethoven, even Billy Joel. Austria seems to call out for music, whether made by Strauss or Julie Andrews. Guest conductor Marin Alsop serves up an Austrian confectionary, both alpine and urban.

Presented in partnership with The Boeing Company and 90.7 KWMU-FM.
Doors open at 5:30pm with complimentary beer sampling courtesy of Anheuser-Busch and happy-hour pricing on other drinks and appetizers.

Fridays at 6:30pm

No passport required, no baggage to check. Classical Detours returns to Friday nights, which means you begin your weekend with a pre-concert happy hour followed by the SLSO taking you on an exciting, one-hour musical tour of places far and near. Avoid the rush hour on the most enjoyable detour you’ll ever take.
