RESURRECTION
Our story began in 1966. Fifty years later Maestro Edelstein and the WSO will salute our past years
of music making and serving Williamsport and the region with an outstanding season. Join us as
we celebrate! Welcome back former conductors including Robin Fountain. Thrill again to one of the
most popular family shows with mime Dan Kamin. Experience Mahler’s transcendent Symphony #2,
the ‘Resurrection.’ Be among the first to hear the premier of a work by the world-renowned composer,
Christopher Theofanidis– commissioned especially to celebrate WSO’s first fifty years. This is only
a snapshot as to why you, our dear subscriber, need to reserve your seat and look forward to an
exceptional celebratory season and the next fifty years!
50& Counting!
BROADWAY
Opening Night
Our 50th anniversary celebrations begin with a big splash!
Former music director, Robin Fountain, returns to conduct
the overture to May Night by Rimsky-Korsakov – one of the
composer’s lighter and more comic operas full of fantastic
folk characters. Andrew Rammon solos for one of the most
beloved cello concertos written by the English composer, Sir
Edward Elgar. The concert closes with another Russian giant:
Alexander Borodin‘s Symphony No. 2 – arguably his greatest
full-scale symphonic piece with exotic tunes, rich harmonies,
and colorful orchestration.
Holiday Concert
Concert
Celebration
Be prepared for many surprises and an exciting evening
celebrating the holiday season!
Famous mime, Dan Kamin, returns as the guest artist for this
concert and will delight us with his fun-filled clown acts.
The orchestra will accompany him with well known tunes
including your favorite holiday songs. In addition, we will
feature the Young Artist Competition winner and a side-byside performance with the symphony’s youth orchestra! A
concert not to be missed!
50th!
HAPPY
Resurrection
Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, the ‘Resurrection’ – without a doubt
the pinnacle of the nineteenth century symphonic music –
will be performed for the first time in Williamsport.
Combining an enlarged orchestra with several local
choirs including the Williamsport Civic Chorus and the
Lycoming College Choir, this monumental work will leave
you breathless and mesmerized. A unique opportunity
to hear the best musicians and singers in the region all
united to perform one of the greatest, most profound,
and transcendent symphonies of all time. Sarah Shafer, an
up-and-coming soprano star will join us as one of the vocal
soloists.
Broadway Celebration
Anticipating Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday, we will
perform selections from his West Side Story, perhaps the
most successful musical ever written. This love story still
touches our hearts and is never dated! More drama follows
with love songs from Les Miserables and Phantom of the
Opera. Delightful tunes from Show Boat, Carousel and
others will complete a program that will leave you nostalgic
and inspired. Featured singers are local stars Emily Wertz,
Bernadette Boerckel and the return of Williamsport native
Brian Mextorf.
Happy 50th
Be among the first to hear the premier of a work by
the world-renowned American composer, Christopher
Theofanidis – WSO’s first fifty years.
Haydn’s early Symphony No. 6, Le Matin, a piece played by
the first Williamsport Symphony in 1915, happily returns in
our season finale. The magnificent Piano Concerto No. 5, the
Emperor, by Beethoven, is the master’s last one but definitely
his most mature and virtuosic. Pianist Christopher Guzman,
winner of many international and national competitions, will
be the soloist.
We couldn’t finish our season without another big splash and
Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe is the perfect choice to celebrate
life, pure love and joy! You are cordially invited to subscribe to the
