David Hagy, conductor
The Wake Forest Orchestra will give its fifteenth annual Halloween "concert" at midnight at the end of Saturday, October 31. The concert will begin with the annual Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Other pieces to be excerpted include Barber's Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance, Mussorgsky's "Gnome," "Catacombs," and "The Witch Baba-Yaga" from Pictures at an Exhibition, and Rossini's Overture to The Barber of Seville. Faculty members will act out a scenario that the orchestra knows nothing about in advance. Orchestra members will be costumed by section and will have planned a variety of tricks to the program. This is live theater at its zaniest! This is also Parents' Weekend at Wake Forest so the audience may well fill the house. Tickets will be available from the Music Department Office, 758-5364, beginning October 26. Tickets are free and seating is open, but tickets ARE required for entrance. Any tickets remaining will be available at the door.
