Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra Highlights Central High Art Department

Come one, come all to the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra this Monday at the Moody Concert Hall for an evening of classical music and art titled “Picture This.”

Legendary violinist Adé Williams will perform on March 3 in this special concert, which will also feature performances of Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1, Mussorgsky and Ravel's Pictures at an Exhibition, and William Grant Still's From the Black Belt Suite.

The New York Times praised Adé Williams as "stunning," recognizing her for her mesmerizing performances and deep audience connection. Williams, who won the prized 2023 Stradivari Society Award, has captured audiences worldwide by playing with top orchestras like the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras and making appearances at iconic locations like Carnegie Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
