The Mercury Orchestra, conducted by Channing Yu, is performing an outdoor concert featuring some of the most fervent music of several Russian composers. In our first collaboration, the New World Chorale joins the Mercury Orchestra for “Polovtsian Dances” from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin. Other works on the program include Festive Overture by Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5.
