(SAVANNAH, GA – April 3, 2023) – The Savannah Philharmonic proudly announces the upcoming “On the Road” concert series, featuring violin virtuoso Rubén Rengel from April 14-16. This engaging spring series will present performances across Bulloch, Bryan, and Chatham Counties, providing residents with an unforgettable musical experience.
Under the baton of Artistic and Music Director Keitaro Harada, the orchestra is thrilled to welcome renowned violin virtuoso Rubén Rengel as a guest artist to present Mozart’s “Turkish” Violin Concerto No. 5 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2.
