Join the YOSA Philharmonic for “Star-Crossed” and experience the passionate music inspired by Shakespeare’s timeless tale of tragic young love. The evening features Tchaikovsky’s lush "Romeo and Juliet" Overture-Fantasy and selections from Prokofiev’s dramatic "Romeo and Juliet" ballet, both beautifully evoking the romance and struggle in the classic tale. Reimagining the story in 20th-century New York City, Bernstein’s "West Side Story" Overture inspires with lively jazz rhythms and harmonies. 

Acclaimed electric guitarist James Moore performs as soloist in the Texas premiere of Daron Hagen’s "Film Noir" Electric Guitar Concerto, a piece inspired by iconic film music and pop culture from “Casablanca” to James Bond and beyond. It will be an unforgettable evening with the young musicians of YOSA Capriccio Strings opening the performance.
