Susquehanna Symphony Orchestra Thirty-Third Season 2009-2010

The SSO is an all-volunteer, non-profit, community orchestra with a reputation for excellent music-making that has lead to invitations to represent Harford County with performances at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City. SSO musicians are your friends, neighbors, and co-workers from all walks of life with day jobs as doctors, nurses, police officers, active duty soldiers, homemakers, scientists, engineers, business men and women, and teachers. They play for the love of music and we are so fortunate they do.  Some have been performing with the SSO since 1974!

From the President:

It is my privilege to announce the SSO Annual Fund is underway.  A full 100% of your donations go toward the operating budget to sustain fine orchestral programming in Harford County.  Your Annual Fund gift will provide essential resources to maintain this cultural arts essential in Harford County and keep business in Harford County.  Donations can be accepted by credit card via the website or by mail.  The SSO is a 501c3 non-profit educational organization.  Please consider the SSO in your end-of-tax-year giving.  If you are doing on-line shopping, please use our Amazon link.  The SSO receives a percentage of every sale. Thank you!

From the British Isles a Grand Success!

Saturday evening on 15 May 2010 found the Susquehanna Symphony Orchestra
presenting their final concert of the subscription season at the Bel Air
High School Auditorium. The concert opened with a particularly moving
rendition of "Danny Boy" by Percy Grainger, his Irish Tune from County
Derry. The Granger work was followed by guest soloist and Harford
County native Patrick Carter and the orchestra playing Sir Malcolm
Arnold's Oboe Concerto. Carter is an alumnus of the Harford and Greater
Baltimore Youth Orchestras and graduated this spring from the
University of Michigan School of Music. His outstanding performance was
well received as both the audience and orchestra were delighted to have
him perform again in Harford County.

The concert concluded with Ralph Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 2, A
London Symphony. This highly melodic work transported the audience
through a musical day in London, beginning with a majestic sunrise
progressing to the hustle and bustle of the workday, taking us on an
evening stroll along the Thames, and finally culminating with the chimes
of Big Ben as night descends. Maestro Bair proved exceptional as he
lead the orchestra through this lyrical work to the enjoyment to all.

Of special note for the evening was the Harford County High School
students who joined the Orchestra for this, our annual side-by-side
concert. The SSO is one of the few Maryland orchestra's that continues
the tradition of side-by-side concerts open to the general public.
Highly motivated and talented high school students performed next to
orchestra mentors during the entire concert. Jim Boord, the Director of
the Harford County Public Schools Music Program addressed the audience
after intermission, thanking the students who performed, and informing
the audience that Harford County has been ranked in the top one hundred
high schools in the country for its music education program. The
students certainly proved him correct!

Coming Soon!

Don't miss the Susquehanna Symphony Orchestra at 7:00PM, 6 June 2010 at Shamrock Park, Bel Air with a variety of patriotic and popular music. Come with a picnic and lawn chair for this free open air concert with prizes for enthusiastic and themed picnickers. The rain location is the Bel Air High School Auditorium.
