Symphonic Sorcery – Youngstown Symphony Orchestra

The Youngstown Symphony Orchestra presents Symphonic Sorcery on Friday, October 2 at 7:30pm at Stambaugh Auditorium. Step beyond the veil for a spellbinding night where magic, myth, and terror collide in an electrifying orchestral spectacle!

Feel the spark of the arcane with the majestic sorcery of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Wagner’s Magic Fire Music, and Goldmark’s rarely heard Merlin Overture. You’ll wander the shimmering, mythical waters of Liadov’s The Enchanted Lake and dance with the whimsical spirits of Delibes’s Sorcerer’s Dance.

Next, summon witches, demons, and supernatural chaos with Saint-Saëns’s hauntingly playful Danse Macabre, de Falla’s hypnotic Ritual Fire Dance, Stravinsky’s ferocious Infernal Dance, Dvořák’s sinister Noon Witch, and Mussorgsky’s thunderous Night on Bald Mountain.

From there, we descend into the realm of cinematic horror and suspense with Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (famously featured in The Shining), Constant’s iconic Twilight Zone Theme, the gothic grandeur of Llyod Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera, the primal terror of Williams’s Jaws, and the shrieking strings of Herrmann’s legendary score to Psycho.

From fairy tales to your darkest nightmares, this high-octane symphonic experience will haunt you long after the final notes fade! For ticket information, visit the Stambaugh Auditorium website.
