DURANGO, Colo. – The San Juan Symphony will celebrate "Symphonic Visions" in both Durango and Farmington with the up-coming 2008-09 concert series. Tickets are currently on sale.
“When Arthur Post steps to the podium this fall to begin his seventh season as music director of the San Juan Symphony, he will lead the orchestra through masterpieces of the symphonic repertoire – the giants of classical music,” said Kathy Myrick, SJS executive director. “Each piece is revered as a journey of soaring ambition, dreams, striving and yearning. With passion superbly balanced by form, these great symphonies sound inevitable – as if they’ve been playing from some distant corner of the universe since before the beginning of time. Listening to them in the concert hall with others is a unique experience that takes us beyond ourselves. Join us this season for an encounter with greatness.”
The first Symphonic Visions concert, Where Giants Dare to Tread, is scheduled for Sat., Oct. 11, 7:30 p.m. at Henderson Hall in Farmington and Sun., Oct. 12, 3 p.m. at the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College in Durango, and will feature Celeste Golden on violin. Highlights include Copland’s "Fanfare for the Common Man," as well as Beethoven’s "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61" and Brahms’ "Symphony No. 1 in C Minor."
New Wine: Same Bottle, the second concert of the Symphonic Visions season, will feature widely varied symphonic compositions of Mozart, Bizet, Takemitsu and jazzman James B. Johnson. It will be held Sat., Nov. 22, 7:30 p.m. at Henderson Hall and Sun., Nov. 23, 3 p.m. at the Community Concert Hall, and will feature Rochelle Mann on flute and Rosalind Simpson on harp. The event will also be a “Side-by-Side” performance featuring local high school musicians playing in concert with their SJS counterparts.
Sketchy Business, scheduled for President’s Weekend, will feature Benjamin Kamins, solo bassoonist, with the orchestra. The program includes works of Schubert, Vivaldi, Michael Daugherty and Tchaikovsky. Performances will be held at the Community Concert Hall in Durango on Sat., Feb. 14, 7:30 p.m. and at the Michael D. Palm Theater in Telluride, Sun., Feb. 15, 5 p.m.
The 2008-09 Symphonic Visions season will conclude with the concert All Things Great and Small at 7:30 p.m., Sat., April 18 at the Community Concert Hall and 3 p.m. Sun., April 19 at Henderson Hall in Farmington. It will include the San Juan Symphony’s most ambitious effort yet, "Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9." The orchestra will be joined by soloists Gemma Kavanagh, Nan Nelson Wagner, Christopher Bengochea and Steven Meredith, as well as the voices of the Durango Choral Society.
Season tickets start at $105 for adults in Durango. Single concert tickets are also available, starting at $33. Discounted tickets are available for students and seniors. Single concert tickets for the three Farmington concerts start at $22 for adults and $12 for students. For tickets or information, call the Community Concert Hall in Durango at 970.247.7657, Henderson Performance Hall in Farmington at 505.566.3430, or the Michael D. Palm Theater in Telluride at 970.369.5675.
