Sault Symphony Orchestra Opens Season at Soo Theatre Sep 25

The Sault Symphony Orchestra presents
an Orchestral Kaleidoscope

The Sault Symphony Orchestra is excited to present an Orchestral Kaleidoscope to kick off their 38th Season. On September 25, the Soo Theatre in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan will be filled with the sights and sounds of this rich and diverse concert event.

Orchestral Kaleidoscope offers a prismatic approach to both the repertoire and the physical movements of the orchestra. Conductor Dr. John Wilkinson leads the orchestra through a variety of classical and pops favorites, while the musicians themselves create a physical movement of sound as they journey through the theatre and the audience.

The diverse program includes such favorite classics as Antonio Vivaldi's “Concerto Grosso in B minor, Opus 3 No. 10” from L'Estro Armonico, Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, W. A. Mozart's “Adagio” from Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, and Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky's “Finale” from Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 among many others.

This evening of music and movement also features a special performance of Firewagon Hockey, an original Canadian composition by Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario's own Stephen Mallinger. Audiences will also receive a special solo violin performance by this year's Kiwanis Shield Award winner, Victoria Jones, and they will delight in a variety of pops arrangements including a Star Wars medley and selections from Fiddler on the Roof.

When: September 25, 2010
Where: Soo Theatre, 534 Ashmun Street, Sault MI
When: 8pm
Cost: $32 (adults) and $12 (Students) (at par)

Also part of the 38th season, the Sault Symphony will present a screening of the Disney film Fantasia 2000, with a live orchestral soundtrack performance on November 13, as well as the full-stage production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas starting on December 8.
