Each year USO Director Barbara Schubert brings together the University Symphony Orchestra and Hyde Park School of Dance for a haunted but harmonious concert to celebrate Halloween. Enhanced by costumes, storytelling, and special effects – including a distinctive, thematic entrance by the costumed conductor – this family-friendly concert includes great orchestral masterpieces, unusual treasures of the repertoire, and even an occasional pops medley! Themes of recent Halloween concerts include “Dangerous Women,” “Cosmic Adventures,” “1001 Arabian Nights,” and “Witches of Yore," among others. This family-friendly event’s two performances always fill up, so plan on showing up early—and in costume!
