The Elgin Symphony Orchestra continues its 76th Season Classics Series with a program of energy, elegance and symphonic power 7:30 p.m. April 11 and 2:30 p.m. April 12 at the Hemmens Cultural Center in Elgin.

Led by ESO Music Director Chad Goodman, the concert features works by Quinn Mason, Robert Schumann and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Cellist Oliver Herbert is featured in Schumann’s lyrical and emotionally rich Cello Concerto, a work known for its seamless flow and expressive character, according to a news release from ESO.

The concert also includes Quinn Mason’s “A Joyous Trilogy,” a vibrant and rhythmic celebration by one of today’s most exciting young composers. The program concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, one of the most iconic and dramatic works in the classical repertoire, according to the release.

A rising star in the world of classical music, Herbert has appeared as a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and New World Symphony. Praised for his “profound musicality and compelling stage presence,” Herbert brings technical mastery and deep artistry to every performance.

A pre-concert talk by ESO Music Director Chad Goodman will take place one hour before each concert.
