NEXT PERFORMANCE
FALL CONCERT
“Flutes and Frights"
featuring Michele Aweh and Concetta Stevens
Friday, November 7 @8
Udall Road Middle School
Our 2025-2026 season begins with some of the most memorable and haunting melodies ever written
From Bernard Hermann's music from the Alfred Hitchcock classic Psycho, to Saint-Saëns' beautifully devilish Danse Macabre, to Mussorgsky's fever dream that was Night on Baldn Mountain, the program will be an exciting and chilling mix of powerful and elegant.
But it's not all doom and gloom! We'll also bring some of the sublimely elegant with Domenico Cimarosa's Concerto for 2 Flutes in G major. A staple of the flute repertoire, and one of the most beloved double flute concertos, long-time West Islip Symphony members Michele Aweh and Concetta Stevens take a step out from being players in the orchestra to our latest featured soloists in a performance that will be sure to delight fans of some of the most beautiful flute playing you will ever hear!
