    Mention Classical Music and many people will claim they don’t know a thing about it. The Elgin Symphony Orchestra’s Friday Favorites, Music You Know concerts set out to prove them wrong.

    “Classical music is everywhere – in movies, commercials, cartoons. People may say they don’t know anything about classical music, but when the Symphony starts playing, they will recognize many of the  pieces,” said Marc Thayer, CEO of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra.

    The Music You Know concerts make orchestra music approachable to newcomers with its shorter, recognizable pieces, while providing longtime symphony fans a chance to hear some of their favorite compositions in a more intimate setting. The concerts start at 6:30 p.m. and run without intermission until approximately 8 p.m.

    The Friday, Oct. 13, program at Elgin Community College’s Blizzard Theatre will include:

    • J. STRAUSS, Jr. Thunder and Lightning Polka
    • HUMPERDINCK Witch’s Ride from Hansel and Gretel
    • ELGAR Nimrod from Enigma Variations
    • MOZART Don Giovanni Overture
    • BERLIOZ March to the Scaffold from Symphonie fantastique
    • RAVEL Pavane for a Dead Princess
    • GRIEG In the Hall of the Mountain King from Peer Gynt
    • DEBUSSY Clair de lune
    • BIZET Selections from Carmen

    Tickets are available through the Elgin Community College Arts Center at www.eccartscenter.org. Student tickets are $10; adult tickets are $20 – $35.
