Heartpounding percussion will echo from stage at the Stiefel this Fall.

The Kaleidoscope mainstage season will open with colorful and imaginative music Sunday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m. at the Stiefel Theatre.

Hannah Applequist will command the spotlight in Paul Dooley’s new percussion concerto, The Soaring Souls, an energetic yet lyrical composition inspired by the tragic love story of Francesca da Rimini.

The adventure continues with Symphonie Fantastique, a highly evocative and expressive work full of fantastical imagery, written by Berlioz in response to his own experiences of heartbreak and unrequited love. The concert will also feature Bal Masqué by Amy Beach. Prepare to be transported to a world of passion, drama and excitement with this unforgettable concert.
