This exhilarating program features music inspired by dance traditions from across the world, ranging from elegant European ballrooms to fiery Spanish festivities. The program includes:

• Johannes Brahms | Hungarian Dance No. 5 – One of classical music’s most recognizable dances, filled with lively rhythms and folk--inspired melodies.

“This concert is all about movement – the way music can make you feel like you’re dancing even while sitting still,” said Tim Wiggins, LCO’s Music Director and Conductor. “Each piece tells its own story through rhythm and melody, and together they remind us that dance is one of the most joyful ways people connect through music.”
This performance is free and open to the public, with donations gratefully accepted to support the orchestra’s mission of bringing accessible, high-quality classical music to Central Kentucky.
