Ilya Ram

Chattanooga Symphony & Opera

Some would call it Verdi’s best opera, his Messa da Requiem is one of the most profound works ever written for orchestra, chorus, and soloists. Written in memory of a friend, this sacred work carries the expressive weight of Verdi’s dramas — at once intimate and monumental. It isn’t a spectacle, but a deep exploration of human emotion: mourning, questioning, hope.

Made possible by the City of Chattanooga, the Family Concert Series brings classic children's books every child should read with classical music every child should hear. This concert's story is The Gruffalo. Doors will open one hour early for pre-concert activities that includes an instrument petting zoo and interactive, story-related craft making. Each 45-minute show begins with a mini-concert performed by CSO's top musicians and then progresses into a magical storybook performance with live narration. At the end of each performance families are welcome to stay for a brief puppet meet and greet. Each family will receive a copy of the book to take home and enjoy again and again.
