31 Days of Halloween: Frightfully Orchestral

Does going to the orchestra give you the creeps? It will on Monday. The Philadelphia Orchestra presents its annual Halloween concert, replete with scarily dressed orchestra members and “creepy classics.” Drag queen Carlota Ttendant, a regular at Gay BINGO, hosts. Carlota joins her fellow members of Philly’s good-time, badly-behaved Big Mess Vaudevillians, making the show anything but stuffy. Rossen Milanov conducts excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Stravinsky’s Suite from The Firebird, Humperdinck’s "Witch's Ride," from Hansel and Gretel and more.

Come early dressed in your freaky finest - the Orchestra will present prizes for best audience and musician costumes.
