Spokane Symphony Classics: Tango and Other Human Passions
Maestro Eckart Preu conducts the Spokane Symphony in an exciting program that covers a range of human passions from the sizzling tango of Golijov’s Last Round to the bucolic serenity of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6.

Spokane Symphony: Kick Back Classics

Fort George Wright Drive Building 15 and Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. at Turning Point Church, 11911 N. Division. Tickets are $5.
