Growing up in Tioga County, I always enjoyed the varying colors of fall. Many years later, autumn is still one of my favorite seasons. Just today while driving around with my family I was saying, “Oh, look at the yellows, reds, and oranges!” But leaf peeping isn’t the only seasonal activity our current visitors can enjoy. If you’re staying with us during October, be sure to check out some of the following attractions.

The Mansfield University Orchestra performs its Prism Concert on October 9, 2015 at 7:30 PM in Steadman Theatre.

The same Saturday evening at 7:30pm, Wellsboro Home Page is proud to sponsor the first concert for the Wellsboro Community Concert Association concert series. The concert will be held at the Deane Center in Wellsboro and feature the Dali Quartet. With an artist’s grace and a Caribbean soul, the Dali Quartet is today’s freshest voice in classical and Latin American music. Anchored in both Venezuela’s El Sistema and in American classical conservatory traditions, this quartet combines the best of both worlds.

The quartet’s performances of traditional string quartet and Latin American repertoire create a concert experience that takes listeners on an eclectic journey of rhythm and sound. In the spirit of the famed Spanish artist Salvador Dali, the Dali Quartet embraces imagination and excellence as central to its art form.

The ensemble is comprised of award-winning solo and chamber artists, who have appeared at Carnegie Hall, toured widely in Europe and Asia, collaborated with some of the finest composers of our time, and recorded for Dorian, Centaur, and Naxos. Based in Philadelphia, the quartet has brought the Latin-Classical connection to television, festivals, as well as educational and presenting organizations throughout Canada, the United States, and South America. You can get a preview of the group’s sound on their website, Dali Quartet (http://www.daliquartet.com/)

If the Dali Quartet piques your interest, the subscription price for an adult to attend all six shows in the 2015-16 concert season is $60. That translates to $10 per show for those who attend all six! The price at the door for adults is $20 per show, $5 for students with student ID cards, and free for children 12 and under accompanied by a paying adult.
