Kick off spooky season with the Charlotte Symphony at Elmwood Cemetery! Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology features a series of monologues that collectively tell the story of Spoon River, a fictional small town in Illinois, spoken from beyond the grave by the town's former residents who provide accounts of their lives, losses, and deaths. A quartet of CSO trombonists are The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, interweaving turn-of-the-century American music by John Phillip Sousa, Scott Joplin, and W.C. Handy - incorporating hymns, ragtime, blues, and classical works inspired by folk traditions such as Copland's Appalachian Spring and the Largo from Dvořák's New World Symphony - with the stories.
Members from Mecklenburg Historical Association's Voices From the Past will be onsite to greet and interact with guests.
This event is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required. Seating will not be provided; please plan to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets.
