The Sewanee Symphony Orchestra (SSO) announces its 2015–16 season, the third under Maestro César Leal. This year kicks off with a third annual Halloween concert for area elementary schoolchildren at 10 a.m., Friday, Oct. 30; they will perform it again for the public at 7:30 p.m., Friday. The concert, “Escape the Fog,” features Beethoven’s “Egmont Overture,” Khachaturian “Masquerade Dances” and Anderson’s “Syncopated Clock.”
SSO will bring back its Celebrate the Season event at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 4. Repertoire for this concert will include audience favorites Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers,” Rebecca Van de Ven performing Mozart’s “Oboe Concerto,” and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Fantasia on ‘Greensleeves.’” Back by popular demand, the SSO will open the spring semester on March 4 with Steppin Out, a concert featuring solo artists. In addition to Sewanee students, Maestro Leal and the SSO are excited to share the stage with Susan Rupert and Metropolitan Opera National Competition winner Reggie Smith featuring selections from Copland’s American Songs.
The University and the Sewanee community will celebrate on April 22 with Gloria in Spring, a collaborative concert between the SSO and the University Choir. Featuring Maestro Robert Delcamp as soloist and conductor of the concert finale, this unique concert will be in All Saints’ Chapel.
All SSO concerts are free to the public and begin at 7:30 p.m.; all take place in Guerry Auditorium with the exception of Gloria in Spring.
