The North Carolina Symphony will perform “boo-ti-ful” music in two NCS Kids Series “Halloween Spooktacular” concerts on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Meymandi Concert in downtown Raleigh. Conductor Alfred E. Sturgis and Enchantment Theatre Company will join the Symphony in this much requested repeat performance.
The program features music by Gounod, Grieg, Saint-Saëns, and others. Young concertgoers are urged to come to the performance dressed in their favorite costume to walk across the stage.
Alfred E. Sturgis is a highly sought after conductor whose versatility and extensive background allow him to journey comfortably into a wide variety of musical experiences. He currently serves as Music Director of the North Carolina Master Chorale, the Carolina Ballet and the Tar River Orchestra. Known for being a strong collaborative artist, Sturgis has also enjoyed a great deal of experience in opera and musical theater.
Enchantment Theatre Company has produced original theater for school groups and families since 2000, when it was established as a non-profit arts organization in Philadelphia. The company presents only original work based on classic stories from children's literature, using its signature blend of masked actors, pantomime, magic, large-scale puppets, and original music.
