Spend this weekend with the arts at Lehigh University’s Zoellner Arts Center, where two powerful performances promise to fill Baker Hall with music and emotion. On Friday, October 24, Lehigh University Choral Arts presents Into the Darkness, a moving exploration of mystery and reflection through choral music.
Then, on Sunday, October 26, the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra, led by Marin Alsop, takes the stage for an afternoon of orchestral brilliance.
Into the Darkness, conducted by Sarah Frook Gallo with assistant director Liz Olson, brings together works by Edward Elgar, Jake Runestad, Melissa Dunphy, and others. The program blends centuries of choral tradition with modern expression, creating a sound world that is both haunting and deeply human. Tickets are $18, with free admission for Lehigh University students.
On Sunday, the Philharmonia Orchestra performs just two days before its Carnegie Hall appearance, offering local audiences a rare chance to experience one of the world’s great ensembles up close. The program includes Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 featuring pianist Alexandre Kantorow, and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra. Tickets range from $45 to $55, and Lehigh students attend free.
Together, these performances showcase Zoellner Arts Center’s commitment to bringing exceptional music to the Lehigh Valley, from the intimate power of choral voices to the grandeur of a full symphony orchestra. Tickets and information for both events are available at www.zoellnerartscenter.org.
