Atlantic Classical Orchestra “Into the Night”

Guest Artist: Hina Khoung-Huu, violin

Night has always stirred the imagination—its mysteries, its dangers, its dreams. This Masterworks concert ventures into that twilight world, where stories come alive, shadows stretch, and music dances on the edge of sleep and storm.

Beginning with Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, a feverish tone poem of witches and dark rites, which was most famously used in Disney’s Fantasia, the piece is a whirlwind conjuring of the supernatural.

The night takes on a different hue in Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2. Rising star Hina Khuong-Huu, winner of the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, brings her brilliance and depth to this haunting concerto.

The program concludes with music from Tchaikovsky’s ballet, Sleeping Beauty. The finale—the famous waltz—is matched only in popularity by the equally exquisite Swan Lake waltz, which is offered as an encore. These dances shimmer—even in the dark—and remind us that night is not just the realm of spirits and shadows, but of dreams and wonder.

Cost: $25. Limited to 28 registrations.

Note: There is a Pre-event gathering for cocktails before the show at Spritz City Bistro (don’t miss the separate event registration)
