Review: Orchestra opens 3rd season under Kalia with captivating performance

Saturday night the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra opened its 88th season with a captivating performance of an ambitious program that included Tchaikovsky’s first piano concerto and Respighi’s “Pines of Rome.” 

This is Roger Kalia’s third season with the EPO, and it is the first where neither COVID-19 nor related protocols interfered with the performance or the reception of the music.
