HOUGHTON – Michigan Tech Music will present Overtures!, performed by the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra (KSO) at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14, at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Michigan Technological University. This concert will also stream live for faraway KSO and Michigan Tech Music lovers.
In their first concert of the season, Joel Neves leads the KSO in a concert of overtures - short one-movement orchestral works that tell a dramatic story.
