Program Details

Two separate ensembles performed this concert: the Thomas Orchestra and an “orchestra” unnamed by the citations. Music in Gotham understands the second ensemble to be the Thomas Band. Both groups performed the Jubel-Ouvertüre, the Ernani and Robert le Diable fantasies, the “Hallelujah” chorus from Messiah, and the march and chorus from Tannhäuser. The program was the same for both the 3:30pm and 8pm performances.
