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.
William Grant Still – Threnody in Memory Jan Sibelius
Ralph Vaughan Williams – English Folk Song Suite
Gabriel Fauré – Pavane
Sheldon Bair – The Homefront 1944
Carolyn Black-Sotir, soprano
Malcolm Arnold – Four Cornish Dances, Op. 91
Amanda Harberg – Prayer
Kile Smith – Susquehanna

The Susquehanna Symphony’s December concerts have been a popular part of the fabric of Harford County’s holiday celebrations for decades. The slightly shortened 11 am concert returns by popular demand. The SSO will perform one of its most requested pieces: Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite” in Duke Ellington’s jazzed-up arrangement which is great fun! Both concerts will feature audience participation pieces and Brian Folus will conduct his enjoyable “Taste of Chanukah." This concert is sure to put everyone in the holiday spirit!
