Tomorrow is the last day to buy tickets to the Carnegie Mellon Night at the Symphony!

Carnegie Mellon University¹s School of Music and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) invite Carnegie Mellon alumni, students, faculty and staff to enjoy ³Carnegie Mellon Night at the Symphony² at 8 p.m., Saturday, Feb.
3, at Heinz Hall.

Norwegian conductor Arild Remmereit will lead the orchestra in two selections by Scandinavian composers. PSO Principal Trumpet and Carnegie Mellon faculty George Vosburgh will perform a solo concerto by Johann Nepomuk Hummel.

The program will begin with the Pittsburgh debut of Carl Nielsen¹s ³First Symphony.² About 27 minutes long, the symphony is famous for its ³progressive tonality,² which refers to the composer¹s habit of beginning a work in one key and ending in another. Vosburgh will showcase his excellent artistry in Hummel¹s confident and high-spirited ³Trumpet Concerto.² The performance will conclude with selections from Edvard Grieg¹s incidental music for Henry Ibsen¹s drama ³Peer Gynt.² Among the most memorable titles are ³In the Hall of the Mountain King² and ³Morning Mood.²

Following the performance, PSO musicians and Carnegie Mellon guests can mingle and enjoy a post-concert dessert buffet hosted by Carnegie Mellon¹s President¹s Office.

Discounted tickets for alumni, students, faculty and staff can be purchased at the Information Desk at Carnegie Mellon¹s University Center. Tickets, which start at $12, must be purchased by noon on Friday, Feb. 2. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.pittsburghsymphony.org/cmunight.html.
