MSO’s Opening Season Concert a Sell Out . . . . . . . . . **Don’t Miss the Remaining Season Concerts**




600 very happy people enjoyed the Muncie Symphony Orchestra’s season opening concert last Saturday night, the 15th of October.  

If you were among them bring your ticket to the MSO office for credit toward a full season of music.  MSO will apply your ticket price toward Season Tickets to the three remaining concerts of the
 2011-2012 Season under the baton of Bohuslav Rattay:



Always popular, the Holiday Concert on December 3rd at 4 p.m. in Emens Auditorium has the highest attendance of the concert season.  


Come back to Sursa Hall for a breath-taking experience when Anna Vayman performs Shostakovich’s first Violin Concerto with the Muncie Symphony Orchestra.  The intimacy and acoustics of Sursa Hall  make for an extraordinary musical experience. Romantic Hero
is March 31st at 7:30 p.m.


Shostakovich      Violin Concerto No.1 in a minor, op.77 (99)
                           Anna Vayman, violin
