Families and members of the University of Chicago and surrounding community are invited to the University Symphony Orchestra’s (USO) annual Halloween concerts with the Hyde Park School of Dance on Saturday, Oct. 26th at 7 and 9 pm. The USO’s 2019 Halloween concert features an array of eerie, mysterious, and spine-tingling works:  Mussorgsky’s justly famous Night on Bald Mountain; Rachmaninoff’s haunting tone poem, The Isle of the Dead; and Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, as arranged by the legendary Leopold Stokowski – plus music from Phantom of the Opera and Pirates of the Caribbean.  Once again the Hyde Park School of Dance contributes their energetic choreography to the mix, and costumes, story-telling, and special effects enhance this annual fun-filled, family-friendly event. Families are invited, and the audience is encouraged to wear costumes. Admission is free, but donations are suggested:  $10 general, $5 students and children. For more information, please visit music.uchicago.edu or call 773.702.8484.
