Shall we dance? The Wheeling Symphony is dancing with some musical stars, on a concert of dance-inspired music by Ravel and Berlioz tonight at 8 at the Wheeling Capitol Theater.  The symphony will also play Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony No. 8, and pianist Benjamin Hochman will join them to play Schumann’s Piano Concerto. 

At the beginning of the season, I spoke with Wheeling Symphony Music Director Andre Raphel Smith about this concert. Here’s what he had to say about the music:

We didn’t have a chance to catch up with their piano soloist Benjamin Hochman, but you can listen to him playing some Beethoven here:


Hochman's first album comes out later this month.

You can also read more about this concert in the Wheeling Symphony's online program notes. If you want keep up with classical music concerts in Wheeling and throughout the state, check out this month's classical calendar.
