Delaware County Symphony Presents
My Homeland Symphony Concert
This season’s opening symphony concert, My Homeland, invites audiences to explore themes of place and belonging through a compelling musical program. The concert will take place on Sunday, October 19 at Meagher Theatre, Neumann University, with pianist Young‑Ah Tak as the featured artist.
​
The afternoon opens with Glinka’s Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila, a work full of virtuosic brilliance and vibrant energy. Next, audiences will be treated to Grieg’s passionate and lyrical Piano Concerto, performed by Young‑Ah Tak, a distinguished Steinway Artist known worldwide for her solo, recital, and chamber music appearances. The concert concludes with Vaughan Williams’ A London Symphony, a richly atmospheric homage to the city he called home — evoking both grandeur and intimate reflection.
Find out more about the pieces featured at this concert by attending Meet the Music, a free, pre-concert lecture presented by Neumann University Music Professor, Dr. Richard Sayers, at 2:00 PM.
