The Island Symphony Orchestra will present “The Romantic Age” on Sunday, March 22 at 2 p.m. at the Bay Shore Middle School Auditorium, 393 Brook Ave., Bay Shore.
The concert will feature acclaimed double bassist Nina Bernat, with Eric R. Stewart serving as Music Director.
Bernat, whose playing has been described as “exhilarating, lovely and lyrical… technically precise and impressively emotive,” was the 2022 Grand Prize winner of the international Lillian and Maurice Barbash J.S. Bach Competition. She also serves on the faculty at Stony Brook University’s Department of Music.
She will perform Giovanni Bottesini’s “Concerto No. 2 for Double Bass and Orchestra.”
The program also includes Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 6,” famously featured in Disney’s “Fantasia,” and Richard Wagner’s “Overture to Die Meistersinger.”
Admission is $20 for adults, available at the door or via Eventbrite. Students are admitted free.
