Naptown Philharmonic's Earth Day Tribute

From serene and vibrant melodies, our artists will deliver a performance that resonates with the theme of preserving our planet.

Conducted by Anna Binneweg, this concert features the choruses from Arundel Vocal Arts Society (AVAS) and Apex Arts Vocal Ensemble, with director Lauren Walker in Jake Runestad’s Earth Symphony, with guest conductor JoAnn Kulesza, who is director of AVAS.

The concert will open with Strauss’ timeless, picturesque waltz, the beautiful Blue Danube. We are excited to highlight Polish female composer Grażyna Bacewicz in the East Coast premiere of her piano concerto performed by Bulgarian piano virtuoso, Daniela Mineva.

This program promises to be heartfelt, soul-stirring and thought provoking – you don’t want to miss it!
