With great anticipation, the Solano Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Semyon Lohss, looks forward to presenting its 35th season, performing five concerts of the finest symphonic music for full orchestra. The wide-ranging selection of superb music, which guarantees something for everyone, includes the stirring music of Beethoven, the lilting Viennese charm of Schubert and Johann Strauss Jr., the magical music of the holidays, as well as the boisterous verve of American movie music.
The orchestra’s December and February programs confirm that life is getting back to normal. Selections from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker ballet will again fill the hall for the Holiday Celebration, which also features the sparkling sound of the solo mandolin in a performance of Hummel’s Mandolin Concerto, performed by Dana Rath. The annual Salute-to-Youth program welcomes back exceptional student musicians, ready to share their talent with a live audience after enduring the confines of virtual-reality musicianship.
In March, featuring the World’s Greatest Classics, the orchestra brings to life one of the choicest works of the symphonic repertoire, the Symphony No. 2 in C minor by Tchaikovsky, known as the “Little Russian,” which brims with Russian folk melodies and musical color. And finally, for those who revel in blasts of popular music bursting from the stage, May’s Annual Pops Concert presents energetic tunes from Vienna, Spain, England, and Hollywood: everything from a rhythmic Strauss quadrille to music that captures the excitement of a James Bond adventure and the zaniness of Looney Tunes cartoons.
From the Season Opening Concert’s strains of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” to the last show’s stirring rendition of “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” the Solano Symphony
Orchestra invites you back to hear great music alive in all keys and styles, led by our inspired conductor and performed by our superb musicians.
