Classical IPR in Concert: Traverse Symphony Orchestra, past and present

Angela Aleo

On this week's program, we celebrate the past and present of the Traverse Symphony Orchestra.

The broadcast includes music from a recent chamber recital given by TSO principals Ken Larson and Sylvia Norris with music director Kevin Rhodes at the piano.

They presented a program of socially distanced chamber music at Traverse City's First Congregational Church

Then, we'll hear the TSO perform Beethoven's Coriolan Overture earlier this year in Interlochen's Corson Auditorium.
