Kasey Foster

Kasey Foster is listed as a performer for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's "Symphonic Superheroes" concert in November 2026, a program mixing orchestral showpieces and film music aimed at family audiences. No further biographical details are available from our directory data.

This program is built for a broad, family audience and mixes orchestral warhorses with pieces written for the screen. Expect the galloping finale of Rossini's Guillaume Tell overture, the surprise loud chord in Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony No. 94, and the theatrical stomp of Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette. There is swashbuckling brass in Dukas's fanfare, the lyrical oboe theme of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, and the wobbling clarinet tune from John Williams's Star Wars Cantina Band. Bernard Herrmann's shrieking strings from Psycho's murder scene sit alongside gentler string writing in Tchaikovsky's Serenade and Holst's St. Paul's Suite. Percussion-driven energy from Rouse's Ku-Ka-Ilimoku and Johann Strauss Jr.'s thunder-and-lightning polka round out a concert designed to move quickly between moods and eras.
