Tomorrow night at 7, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski will lead the orchestra in the Overture to Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber and Symphony No. 5 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Pianist Francesco Piemontesi will join the festivities for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27. Tickets to each concert range from $23 to $85. (Gonzalez)
