	Battle Creek Symphony Saturday, March 27, 2010, 7:30 pm W.K. Kellogg Auditorium Fallen Heroes Williams: Hymn to the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan Ravel: Tombeau de Couperin Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, "Eroica" (Heroic) Deeply affected by his experience during World War I, Ravel composed the Tombeau as an homage to the golden era of French music and dedicated each of the movements to a comrade who had fallen in battle. Beethoven's Eroica Symphony was a manifesto in a world of powdered wigs and convention. His revolutionarysounds shook the world then and remains to this day one of the greatest symphonic achievements of all time. Honoring the 150th birthday of Will Keith Kellogg and those who have fallen in battle.
	Battle Creek Symphony Saturday, May 1, 2010, 7:30 pm W.K. Kellogg Auditorium Ivan Moshchuk, piano Merry Pranks Wagner: Ride of the Valkyries Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 Strauss: Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Binda Unlike the heroes of our earlier concerts, Till Eulenspiegel is a peasant folk hero of the medieval period - he was an impudent trickster figure who played practical jokes on his contemporaries and exposed greed, hypocrisy and foolishness at every turn. Strauss's brilliant orchestration chronicles his misadventures and pranks with virtuosity and panache. As is tradition, the Battle Creek Symphony will collaborate with the Gilmore Keyboard Festival, the largest gathering of keyboard artists in North America. This year we will present the tremendously talented Ivan Moschuk. To watch a performance of Ivan playing, click here artist sponsored by Eleanor and Robert DeVries

Mythbusters

Myth #1. Symphony Concerts are not affordable. In fact, you can get tickets for as low as $7 per ticket!

Myth #2. Symphony Concerts are boring. Symphony music is some of the most exciting and dramatic music ever written. That's why so many movie scores are inspired by symphonic classics.

Myth #3. Concerts are stuffy and long. Our typical concerts are less than two hours and have an upbeat, multi-media approach.

Myth #4. You have to wear a suit and a tie to go to a concert. Come as you like. Some folks like to dress up, others prefer a more casual look. Myth #5. You can only applaud at certain times. We love your applause!
