SUMMARY:CSUN Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:CSUN Symphony Orchestra\nJohn Roscigno\, Conductor\nIsaac Schanno Johnson\, Assistant Conductor\nWednesday\, MARCH 4th\, 7:30 PM\, Plaza del Sol \nfeaturing \n“The B-Sides” by Mason Bates\nand\nSymphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius\nExperience an electrifying evening with the CSUN Symphony where modern rhythm meets Nordic grandeur. \nMason Bates’s The B-Sides opens the evening with a rhythmic\, contemporary sound world\, drawing on influences from electronica and dance music.
