Magnum Opus Series
New Britain Symphony and The Connecticut Virtuosi are pleased to collaborate on three full symphonic concerts during the 2011-2012 Season. By working together, the organizations aim to offer a fresh approach to symphonic music for both new and existing audiences in New Britain and the central Connecticut region.
Adrian Sylveen, artistic director of the Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, is serving as artistic director and conductor of the Magnum Opus Series.
The first concert garnered a standing ovation from the enthusiastic audience, which included residents from New Britain, Newington, and Bristol, as well as from towns as far away as Orange and Chester.
Audiences of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy our next concert, a festive holiday program on Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 4:00 p.m., which includes the famous theme from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (made popular by Disney’s Fantasia) and a collection of Christmas carols from Poland and other places around the world. The Paderewski Choir and the New Britain Chorale perform with the NBSO on this special occasion.
All concerts are performed in Welte Hall on the campus of CCSU in New Britain.
