2006-2007 Season

This season we continue to increase our offerings as the Symphony presents three concerts at the Performing Arts Center. Masterpiece Series concerts feature symphonies by Sibelius and Mendelssohn. Solo appearances include Bryan Pezzone performing Beethoven’s Concerto no. 4 and Armen Anassian playing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto.

Additionally, we inaugurate a new program, the first in our Family Concert Series, featuring Peter & the Wolf, Scheherazade, and a performance by a child virtuoso.   Supplemental standards-based curriculum is provided for area schools.

The Bon Appétit series continues with a sold-out     performance,   American Sensation, with Bryan Pezzone and clarinetist Deborah Avery moving from Gershwin to Copland,  and more.   January 2007 featured Philip Vaiman and Robert Edward Thies in A Russian Winter’s Tale.

We kicked off our Family Concert Series in January 2007.      

And more to come! Stay tuned!
