Weidner Philharmonic - Express Yourself

Weidner Philharmonics 24/25 concert series opens with a program exploring freedom of expression and examining the power of using our voices to share our truth and be the change we want to see in the world.

We will peek behind the covers of a banned book and celebrate the spirit of individuals who have fought to overcome physical obstacles, racial prejudice, and oppressive political regimes to speak their minds with the world - no matter what.

Concert Program:

Leonard Bernstein: Overture to Candide

Vijay Iyer: Trouble for violin and chamber orchestra
       Featuring violin soloist Luis Fernandez

John Mackey: Places we can no longer go for soprano and orchestra
       Featuring vocal soloist Whitney Myers

Dmitri Shostakovich: Festive Overture

Followed by a post-concert pop-up dance performance under The Chihuly Chandelier by Jumaane Taylor, artistic director of the Chicago Human Rhythm Project.
