Park Ridge Fine Arts Symphony will perform free outdoor concerts July 19 and 26.
The Park Ridge Fine Arts Symphony will perform concerts on July 19 and 26 in Hodges Park, as part of the Park Ridge Fine Arts Society’s concert series.
For the second piece, Schubert chose a favorite of Frank York, who founded the orchestra in 1961, the “Carmen Suite” from Bizet’s Opera, “Carmen.” “It’s a very appealing piece with a little bit of Spanish flavor and a very familiar tune,” the conductor said. “It will be a blend of the really familiar and the appealing, but maybe not as familiar,” Schubert said.
“Within a few years, I was principal viola,” Due said. “What I loved at the beginning, was that there were a lot of retired Chicago Symphony players and retired Lyric Opera players — they were kind of legends. I learned so much from them.”
