To open the season, we welcome Herman Ringer to conduct a concert for those of all ages. We feature young local percussionist Jacob Spence who will be surrounded by a vast array of instruments in the Milhaud Concerto, enjoy a joke with Mozart, visit Peru and finish with a couple of delightful light pieces from Coates and Herbert.

In this, the orchestra’s 100th concert, we return to St. Thomas’s starting with Schumann’s exciting Konzertstück with soloists Cornucopia. We then visit our conductor’s homeland with Piazzolla’s Tangazo and feature our leader, Richard Parsons, in the Beethoven Romance in F before ending with Dvorak’s ever popular 8th Symphony.
