<h4>Mozart, Serenade No. 6, K. 239 (Serenata notturna)</h4>
<p class="details">Featuring the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra String Quartet Composed for an outdoor setting, this charming and cheerful work features deceptively simple melodies and festive sounds that mimic birds and other sounds of nature.</p>
<h4>Liszt, Les Prèludes</h4>
<p>In one of Liszt's most innovative works, he created a new genre called the "symphonic poem" and captured the moods of the poem Les Prèludes by Alfonse-Marie de Lamartine.</p>
<h4>Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 3</h4>
<h5>Santiago Rodriguez, piano</h5>
<p>The greatest piano concerto ever composed. We are thrilled to have the world's foremost interpreter of Rachmaninoff return to the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra to bring you this brilliant, complex (and therefore rarely performed) concerto.</p>

<p>George Gershwin’s jazz- and blues-flavored melodies served as the foundation of this classic American opera.</p>

<p><strong>Shrek The Musical</strong> tells the story of a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren't only found in fairy tales.</p>
<p>Shrek The Musical, based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage.</p>
<p>In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand…and his name is Shrek.</p>
<p>Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims Shrek The Musical, “Far, far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway!”</p>
<p>Shrek The Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!</p>

<p><strong>Skippyjon Jones</strong> is a little kitten with big ears and even bigger dreams! Sometimes he pretends to be a bird, sometimes he pretends to be a llama, and sometimes he pretends to be a whale…Anything BUT a Siamese cat!</p>
<p>His Mama sends him to his room so that he can think about behaving like the cat he really is. While bouncing on his bed, Skippyjon’s wild imagination takes over as he catches his reflection in a mirror. “Holy guacamole,” Skippyjon exclaims. “My ears are too big for my head, my head is too big for my body. I am not a Siamese cat — I am a CHIHUAHUA!”</p>
<p>And not just any Chihuahua. He dons a mask, a cape, and an accent, and transforms into Skippito Friskito, the greatest canine sword fighter in old Mexico!</p>
<p>Based on the book by Judy Schachner, and from the creators at Theatreworks USA, Skippyjon Jones is an enchanting musical about unleashing your powerful imagination and following your dreams.</p>
<p><strong><em>This 60-minute musical is appropriate for audiences in grades K–3.</em></strong></p>

<p>Mann began her solo career in 1993 with the album Whatever and made a name for herself through her independent success and the founding of her record label, SuperEgo. In addition to her solo work, she has appeared on many film soundtracks and composed the soundtrack for Paul Thomas Andersons much-lauded Magnolia. Since @#%&*! Smilers, Mann has performed for President Obama and the First Lady at the White House, appeared as herself on the hit indie TV series Portlandia and fast become an internet darling. Named one of The Huffington Post's 13 Funny Musicians You Should Be Following On Twitter, Mann has gained a diehard social media following for her quick wit and stinging observation, much of which is reflected on the new album.</p>
<p>The long awaited new album from Aimee Mann, Charmer, will be released September 18 on Superego Records. Influenced by what Mann calls the super pop of the 70's and 80's, the album is her first release since 2008's celebrated @#%&*! Smilers, which the BBC called undeniably beautiful. Of Charmer, her eighth studio album, Mann comments, I'm fascinated by charming people and the whole idea of charm. It's hard to remember sometimes that there is usually an agenda behind the act of being charming, and that is what I'm most interested in. Is someone's charm being utilized just to try and entertain people, make them feel special and interesting, or is there a more sinister purpose behind it? Sometimes I think charm can just be another word for manipulation. The album also includes a duet with James Mercer of The Shins on Living a Lie. Mann will support the new album with tour dates this fall.</p>
<p>Charmer was produced by longtime friend and band member Paul Bryan and recorded with Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontagne, Bonnie Raitt) at Stampede Origin in Los Angeles. Bryan joins Mann on the album, among many other friends and collaborators including J.J. Johnson, Jebin Bruni and Jamie Edwards. Mann wrote all of songs on the album, though two, Living a Lie and Soon Enough, are collaborations with Paul Bryan and Tim Heidecker, respectively. </p>
