Celebrating Our Golden Season!

Saturday, October 10 at 7pm​

Bel Air High School

Pre-Concert Talk at 6:30pm

​

The Susquehanna Symphony’s Golden (50th) Season will begin with compositions we have performed in the past and composers with whom we have had a close relationship: African American composer William Grant Still; friends to the SSO Amanda Harberg and Kile Smith; and Sir Malcolm Arnold, our guest in March of 2000. The works by Vaughan Williams and Fauré were performed at the Orchestra’s very first concert!

We welcome back guest soloist Carolyn Black-Sotir (soprano); JoAnna Cochenet joins to conduct two works.
