60 PIECE ORCHESTRA WITH 100 VOICE CHORUSLove and jealousy. Politics and murder. Fire and passion. Puccini’s opera tells the immortal tale of the singer Tosca and the painter Cavaradossi, whom she loves, and their betrayal at the hands of jealous Scarpia. Everything is driven by love – of others, of country and of power. This concert production features the gifted soloists and 100 members of the Northwest Indiana Symphony Chorus as they bring this story of longing and destruction to life. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.
MAC Chat prior to Sunday's performance

A TOTALLY NEW KIND OF EXPERIENCE WITH A CLASSICAL TWIST. It will be Wunderbar and fun! Replete with an outdoor Oktoberfest dinner and Oom-Pah Band, bratwurst and schnitzel (for an additional fee). It will be a barrel full of Bach, Mozart and Strauss as well as polkas, toasts, and of course, the unexpected.
An absolute blast of an evening!–Kirk Muspratt

Complete with an Oom-Pah Band and cash bar featuring German beer.TICKETS: $30 ($25 subscribers)
YOU NOW HAVE THREE PERFORMANCES TO CHOOSE FROM! Yes, you read it correctly. New Philharmonic’s New Year’s Eve concert has become so popular that we had to add a performance. Continuing our tradition of featuring soloists from the Lyric Opera Ryan Center for Young Artists, John Irvin, a smashing young tenor who is about to turn the world on its heels is the perfect choice for the evening. There will certainly be Johann Strauss, Stoltz and Von Suppe - but hold on to your champagne glasses - there will be even more surprises!
Do I have some surprises in store for you!–Kirk Muspratt

TWO CONCERTI IN ONE NIGHT!
Two concerti on the same program? A tall order, but not for Winston Choi. Laureate of the 2003 Honens International Piano Competition and winner of France’s 2002 Concours International de Piano, Choi is one of most sought after pianists in Chicagoland. Whether he is collaborating with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra or soloing on WFMT, he is amazing. The second half of the program features the Shchedrin Carmen Suite written for five percussionists and string orchestra. This piece is magical to hear and to behold.

YOU ASKED FOR IT!
New Philharmonic has been trying to arrange for CSO Assistant Concert Master David Taylor, to play with them for years. John Williams selected him to help edit his “Fiddler on the Roof” cadenzas. We have all loved the opening music to Fiddler and now that it is published, New Philharmonic has the opportunity to perform it live. In addition, New Philharmonic will also perform one of your most requested pieces of repertoire – the joyous “Scottish Symphony.”

A HOLIDAY TRADITION!
“The Nutcracker” plays a beloved role in the MAC’s traditional celebration of the Christmas season. Dating from an 1892 premiere in Moscow, it is a fairy tale ballet in two acts centered on a family’s Christmas Eve celebration. As the party ends, a dream takes the young daughter on many adventures. Chicago Festival Ballet and New Philharmonic Orchestra bring this classic extravaganza to the MAC for four performances.
Join us for a Tea Party prior to ma tinée performances, complete with sandwiches, scones, sweets and of course tea (lemonade, cheese and PBJ sandwiches available for the younger guests).
