Western Piedmont Symphony

Season finale Masterworks concert featuring mandolin artist Jeff Midkiff performing his From the Blue Ridge concerto. Concert includes Rossini's Overture to La gazza Ladra and Mozart's Jupiter Symphony.

Salisbury Symphony Orchestra

Uncover the dramatic and subversive world of Shostakovich with "The Barbarian Artist," a concert centered around his powerful Symphony No. 5.

This piece is renowned for its complex layers of false patriotism and hidden political commentary, written during a time when the composer was under intense scrutiny by Stalin’s regime.

The symphony’s finale quotes an unpublished song about a "barbarian artist" whose work is mindlessly destroyed, a likely reference to the stifling censorship of the Soviet era. The program also features the overture to Mozart’s Don Giovanni, the story of a brutish and promiscuous man whose misdeeds ultimately lead to his dramatic downfall into hell.

Adding to the evening’s intensity is Grieg’s iconic Piano Concerto in A minor, a work of great emotional depth and virtuosic brilliance, performed by the talented pianist Ying Li. This concert offers a profound exploration of music as a form of resistance and expression, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression. Join us for a night of powerful music and historical intrigue, as we delve into the depths of artistic defiance and political subversion.

The first half concludes with Tchaikovsky's iconic Fantasy Overture to Romeo & Juliet, a piece that captures the tragic love story with its lush melodies and dramatic orchestration. The highlight of the evening is Florence Price’s Symphony No. 1 in E minor, a work that blends the rich traditions of Black American music with the classical symphonic form.

Pops at the Post is a completely free community event, featuring a performance by the Salisbury-Rowan Symphony, led by Maestro David Hagy. The concert is held the first Saturday in June each year.

The first Pops at the Post was hosted in 2005 as part of the Salisbury Post’s centennial celebrations at the Salisbury Post loading dock near the intersection of Church Street and W. Innes Street in downtown Salisbury.

So many people came out to see the Salisbury Symphony performance that Pops at the Post has been turned into an annual community event. The hard work of the Pops Boar dog directors and the generous support from sponsors and donors help to keep Pops at the Post a completely free community event.
