With Friends, For Friends

Join the Dayton Philharmonic this weekend for an unforgettable evening of friendship with conductor Neal Gittleman!

This special event will feature three world premieres from local composers who are longtime collaborators and friends of the Dayton Philharmonic. The concert begins with three world premieres by area composers, longtime collaborators, and friends of the Philharmonic AK Jaquith, Steven Winteregg, and Michael Schelle. Then, in an homage to those onstage and in the audience, Maestro Gittleman leads the orchestra in Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a gorgeous work which Elgar wrote in honor of his own friends.
