Description

48th Season in 2024-2025: Awaken to the SSO's 48th Season!

The SSO’s 48th season opening concert is mostly about waking up in one way or another. Bach’s very famous “Sleepers Awake” cantata is a fitting introduction to the concert, while Haydn’s famous “Surprise” Symphony has the wake-up chord in the second movement! The waltz from Tchaikovsky’s famous Sleeping Beauty ballet is also a proper addition, as is the fabulous orchestral suite from John Williams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The same composer’s lovely theme from Angela’s Ashes is sandwiched between the Tchaikovsky waltz and Star Wars!

Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Eugene Ormandy - "Sleepers Awake" (Chorale Prelude)
Franz Josef Haydn - Symphony No. 94 "Surprise"
Pater Tchaikovsky - Waltz from Sleeping Beauty
John Williams - Theme from Angela’s Ashes
John Williams - Suite from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Star Wars Episode VII)

March of the Resistance
Rey’s Theme
Scherzo for X-Wings
The Jedi Steps and Finale

The lobby opens at 6:45 pm for patrons to enjoy concessions from Coffee Coffee and local artist and author vendors.

A pre-concert discussion will be held at 7 pm.

While we welcome children at our concerts, we kindly ask that children who cannot remain silent be escorted to the lobby as a courtesy to the other patrons and performers.

We appreciate your support of the orchestra, but please stay home if you are ill for the protection of the community.
