Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra

2008-2009 Grand Series Print E-mail

Maestro Savia Welcomes You to the 2008–2009 Grand Series!

Maestro Savia This season is particularly near and dear to my heart as it is my 20th season serving as Music Director for the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. As we celebrate 74 years of providing live, symphonic music to the Tri-State, we invite you to share our passion for music throughout this season: “A Season of Love.”

The Grand Series includes all 7 Classics concerts and all 4 Pops concerts. If your tastes range from the popular to the classics, then our Grand Series is perfect for you.

Beginning on Opening Night, we are launching a two-year celebration of Beethoven as we kick off The Beethoven Symphony Cycle. We’ll perform all of Beethoven’s 9 symphonies over the next two years.

Our Pops concerts feature GRAMMY award winning artists, Broadway stars, and the best holiday music celebration in town, “Peppermint Pops!”

I invite you to check out our season below ... then get the hottest tickets in town!  Order your season tickets today.  I look forward to seeing you in the audience!
