Five is a magic number with the Symphony this year, whose season is entitled “High Five.” They will be exploring the 5th Symphonies of Haydn, Dvorak, Mahler, Shostakovich and, of course, the most famous of all 5ths, Beethoven.  

The concert begins at 8:00 p.m. and will feature a Symphony performance of Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G Minor and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67. The 5th Dimension will perform following the Symphony selections.

Tickets for Thursday’s show rage in price from $25 to $55. Season tickets are available with several different plans to choose from. Performances take place at the MetroCenter, 1323 W. Pioneer Parkway.
