Symphony Youth Orchestra to present Winter Concert at WSUDate: 1/29/2015 SPRINGFIELD – The Springfield Symphony Youth Orchestras’ Winter Concert is set for Feb. 8, in Parenzo Hall at Westfield State University, 577 Western Ave., Westfield.
The introductory ensemble Springfield Youth Sinfonia’s concert program will include Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Mussorgsky’s The Fair at Sorochinsk, and Tchaikovsky’s Waltz from Swan Lake. The advanced Springfield Youth Orchestra’s program will include Rossini’s William Tell Overture and Dvorak’s In Nature’s Realm Overture, Op. 91.
Marsha Hassett, conductor of the SYS said, “Come in from the cold and enjoy a concert by the SSYO ensembles. The SYS presents some Russian favorites as well as J.S. Bach's lyrical chorale prelude, ‘Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.’”
Jonathan Lam, conductor of the SYO gives, "The SYO will be performing two contrasting works. Rossini's William Tell overture will open the concert and display the versatility, warmth, and excitement of the orchestra. Dvorak's tone poem, In Nature’s Realm, will take the audience through the sounds of the wilderness.”
Tickets are available at the door, and are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and youth under 17 years of age. Doors open at 2:30pm, and the concert begins at 3 p.m.
MassMutual Financial Group is the official season sponsor of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra and the Springfield Symphony Youth Orchestra. Disability Management Services, PeoplesBank, and Baystate Children’s Hospital are the sponsors of the SSYO.
