Bohemian Rhapsody

The music of Queen performed by an orchestra? See it to believe it! Begin the night on a journey with Slovakian travelers during Kodály’s Dances of Galánta before relaxing to Laura Usiskin's performance of Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1, a piece originally written for the principal cellist of a Hungarian prince’s orchestra! These works build up to an exciting performance of Dvořák's eighth symphony, a piece filled with the sounds of the Bohemian countryside and lush melodies from traditional folk dances. Finally, celebrate the music of Queen with an orchestral performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, featuring the principal violist of Georgia Philharmonic, Sherry Ellis.  From rich symphonic landscapes to lively dance rhythms, this performance promises to transport you from Marietta, Georgia through the countryside of Central Europe, ultimately landing in the audience of a Queen concert.
