Benjamin Zander | conductor
Benjamin Zander (Boston Philharmonic) presents Classical Fever, a FREE concert to introduce newcomers to classical music, or anyone else who might like to witness an icon make spontaneous musical magic with a deliberately unrehearsed orchestra. Zander once said that Classical Fever is for anyone who has either never been to a classical music concert, or for those who have–and hated it.
Maestro Zander will open the concert hall an hour early to meet with members of the Akron Youth Symphony and any area students who may wish to come.
