Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and the “Standing Cellist”

Join the BPO and Maestro Cho for an unforgettable evening of masterful performances, May 17, 8:00 pm at the Syriac Community Hall, 55 W. Midland Ave, Paramus, NJ.

The program opens with the dramatic Nabucco Overture by Giuseppe Verdi, setting the tone with its powerful and intense melodies that set the stage for the rest of the performance. Acclaimed cellist Emmanuel Feldman, “the Standing Cellist”, will take the stage to perform Elgar’s Cello Concerto, showcasing his virtuosic talent. The orchestra will then dive into the emotional depth of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s passionate Symphony No. 6 (Pathétique).
