SUMMARY:Great Hall Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:This show is SOLD OUT!\nWe all remember hits like “Still the One\,” “Dance with Me\,” and “Love Takes Time.” Platinum hit-makers ORLEANS are celebrating more than 50 YEARS of live performances! \nPraised by their peers for their songwriting skills\, instrumental prowess and classic trademark harmonies\, their iconic radio hits still resonate with audiences of all ages thanks to continued airplay on Classic Rock radio\, television\, film and streaming services.  Orleans have produced a body of work spanning 17 albums and several DVDs\, and they continue to be in demand for live shows\, as they have been for more than 5 decades. \nOver time\, Orleans have enjoyed great success\, but have also experienced tragedy. The untimely death of Wells Kelly in 1984 and the sudden passing of mainstay Larry Hoppen in 2012\, prompted the return of co-founder and former US Congressman John Hall (now retired from the road band). Co-Founder Lance Hoppen and longtime bandmates Lane Hoppen\, Fly Amero\, and Tony Hooper are now joined by Nashville veterans Brady Spencer and Tom Lane on drums and guitar\, respectively. Together they faithfully deliver the musical elements you have come to expect from this class act\, with power and integrity. \nSince their humble beginnings in Woodstock NY and throughout countless worldwide tours\, Orleans have set standards respected by other musicians. Today and beyond\, Orleans will continue to meet and exceed those standards at every show\, to the delight of audiences everywhere. \nFind out More about the 2025 Great Hall Consert Series.

SUMMARY:A Joyful Call for Unity: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 Brings Together Our Local Communities
DESCRIPTION:This coming weekend\, the New Philharmonia Orchestra invites you to experience one of music’s most powerful celebrations of humanity—Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor\, Op. 125\, performed live in the heart of Newton. \nFew works speak so directly to the spirit of community as the Ninth Symphony. Beethoven’s visionary setting of Schiller’s “Ode to Joy” proclaims\, “All men become brothers\,” a message that transcends time\, culture\, and language. In an age when connection and compassion are more vital than ever\, the New Phil’s performance brings this call for unity to life—right here among our neighbors. The orchestra\, under the direction of Maestro Jorge Soto\, joins forces with local choirs and vocal soloists. Together\, they embody the orchestra’s motto\, “Music for All\,”  blending professional artistry with the warmth and diversity of our communities. The City of Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller will deliver an opening speech at 7:30 pm Saturday\, November 15th.
