Music has long been a medium that has inspired dance, but in many cases it has been that a dance has inspired music. Many folk and country dances have been catalysts for the classical music that composers produce, and this will be a night to celebrate this inspired music. The concert will include an Italian tarantella by Ottorino Respighi and a Czech polka by Bedrich Smetana.

The Orchestra will also perform a mambo by Thomas Oboe-Lee, Boston College faculty member, and various waltzes and polkas by the Strauss family of Austria, who revolutionized the waltz from a folk dance to a dance fit for royalty. Russian, Brazilian, Greek, and Spanish dance songs will also be performed.

This concert is not just for listening- audience members will be encouraged to dance along with the music.

Admission: All concerts are free and open to the public
