The Philamlife Auditorium serves as the concert venue for all performances which starts at 8:00 PM.

There are some very familiar pieces that I’d want to hear performed live and some pieces that I hope I would like since they are unfamiliar to me. And if they indeed play the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, it would be interesting to note that the MSO will be the third orchestra to play this piece this year.
