Prince George’s Philharmonic Strikes a Chord at the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts Nov. 17

By Annamarya Scaccia

There’s nothing more beautiful than the sound of twinkling piano keys wafting through a spacious but intimate theater.

On Saturday, November 17, that aural splendor will fill the air of the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts when the Prince George’s Philharmonic takes the stage. The concert, which will see Philharmonic Music Director Charles Ellis as conductor and Terrence Wilson on piano, will start at 8 p.m. in the Bowie venue, located at 15200 Annapolis Road [See Charles Ellis profile, Prince George’s Suite Fiesta Edition].

The second performance of the Philharmonic’s 2012-2013 season, the Saturday concert will include performances of Smetana’s “From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields from Ma Vlast,” Britten’s “Men of Goodwill: Variations on a Christmas Carol,” Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43,” Barber’s “Die natali, Op. 37,” Chorale Preludes for Christmas, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Capriccio espagnol, Op.34.”
