Nashua Symphony Orchestra

Saturday, April 14 | 8:00 p.m. | Keefe Memorial Auditorium

Folk music is often used by composers as the basis for a national style. Grieg’s thrilling “In the Hall of the Mountain King” episode from Peer Gynt will set your heart racing, and Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony is an explosion of color and excitement. Garrop’s Thunderwalker imagines primitive ritual as a route to the divine.
