New Philharmonic Presents “Roman Resounds”

New Philharmonic and Music Director and Conductor Kirk Muspratt present Roman Resounds on Friday, Nov. 5 and Saturday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. with nationally-acclaimed cellist Joshua Roman, at the McAninch Arts Center at College of DuPage, located at 425 Fawell Blvd., Glen Ellyn, Ill. Maestro Kirk Muspratt will lead the New Philharmonic in three spectacular masterpieces by the greatest and often neglected Czech composer of the 19th century, Antonin Dvorák. New Philharmonic and Joshua Roman will perform Dvorák’s Cello Concerto in B minor, Symphony No. 7 and Slavonic Dance, No. 1. Dubbed by the Seattle Times as a “classical rock star” and having played sold-out solo and chamber performances throughout the city, 26-year old Joshua Roman joined the Seattle Symphony Orchestra at age 22 as the youngest principal player in the symphony’s history. Before embarking on a solo career, Roman was the principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra from 2006 until 2008. In addition to his orchestra work, Roman often plays at clubs, showcasing a vast repertoire, ranging from jazz and rock to classical sonatas and chamber music. Roman has also served as the artistic director of the innovative chamber music series Town Music at Seattle's Town Hall. Most recently, Musical America featured Roman as the August 2009 Artist of the Month. Ticket Price Range: Tickets to Roman Resounds are $36 for adults, $34 for seniors and $26 for youth and are currently on-sale. To order tickets, call (630) 942-4000, or visit: www.atthemac.org.
