"Out With a Bang" suggests a raucous finale to the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra's concert season and with good reason. Principal Percussionist, Chris Rose, is the featured soloist in Jennifer Higdon'sPercussion Concerto, which will be one of the highlights of the spring Young Person's Concert. Just how many instruments are there in the percussion family? Are they all used in Higdon's Percussion Concerto? Is percussion totally about rhythm or is there more to it? Awarded a Grammy Award in 2010 for Best Classical Contemporary Composition, Percussion Concerto is destined to become a 21st Century classic. Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 will help us culminate this concert with a 'bang', expressing the heroic and the triumphant in music.
