From Beethoven to Beyoncé

Wednesday, June 5, 2024

Dinner reservation at 5:00 pm | Show starts at 7:30 pm

From Beethoven to Beyoncé is a fantastical trip through an imaginary music festival curated by those two artists, combining the greatest composers of all-time with the best popular artists of today. Lady Gaga sings with Brahms; Bruno Mars improvises with Bach; Wagner conducts while Adele sings; Muse, Shostakovich and Chance the Rapper talk politics; Stravinsky and Daft Punk push the boundaries; John Mayer fanboys over Mahler; and Beethoven and Beyoncé bring it home with help from Mumford and Sons. Three vocal soloists, one also a multi-instrumentalist, join the full orchestra.

Registration deadline: Monday, May 20th

If you want to sit with classmates or groups of friends, we suggest buying your tickets at the same time, or in the same purchase. This will allow you to be seated next to each other. Unfortunately, we are not able to control the seats that are assigned with each purchase.

So grab your Cracker Jacks and score card and come enjoy an evening at the ballpark!
