ROYAL OAK SYMPHONY CONCERT FEATURING BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY NO. 4
Friday, October 28, 8:00 pm
The Royal Oak Symphony opens its 2015-2016 season on Friday, October 23, 8:00 pm at the Royal Oak Middle School, Dondero Auditorium. The school is located at 709 N. Washington 
Ave. in Royal Oak — 1/4 mile north of Eleven Mile Road.
The program includes contrasting works from the symphonic repertoire:
“Dances of Transylvania” by Bela Bartok (1881-1945)
“Norwegian Dances, Op. 35” by Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)
“Symphony No. 4” by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
These three pieces, written in vastly different styles, contrast rhythmic energy with slow, lyrical melodies.

He currently serves as an elementary strings teacher in Troy. He also is a conductor for the Detroit Metropolitan Youth Symphony.
