Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The Alabama Symphony Orchestra is known for performing a wide range of music, and it doesn't look as if they're going to quit anytime soon. Their upcoming performance, aptly dubbed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", promises to present a stunning array of Asian film music, and will feature two outstanding individuals: George Gao, a "master of the erhu" (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) who will perform the concerto, and Mei-Ann Chen, a star on the rise, will conduct. Tickets range from $15-$25, and the performance will begin at 7PM on Thursday, March 25 at the Alys Stephens Center, 2100 10th Ave. S. For more information, call the Alys Stephens Center (205-975-2787) or visit the Symphony's website (www.alabamasymphony.org). Anticipate an exciting performance, and don't forget to keep your ticket. You'll need it to get that CEIS credit!
