Concert VI: Poetic Echoes (Proctors)

For the season finale, the SSSO makes an appearance at UPH and Proctors! Joined by Saratoga Voices, the SSSO will present an inspiring celebration of music and poetry. Florence Price’s “Four Songs from the Weary Blues” brings the evocative words of Langston Hughes to life, while Vaughan Williams’ “Towards the Unknown Region” sets Walt Whitman’s poetry to sweeping, emotional music. The program closes with Mendelssohn’s enchanting “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” capturing Shakespeare’s timeless tale of magic, love, and mischief.

Don’t miss the pre-concert talk with Artistic Director/Conductor Glen Cortese at 2 p.m. at Procotrs! It’s an excellent way to learn more about the music and an opportunity to ask questions about the performance. All are invited to attend. 

Children under 18 are free when accompanied by a ticketed adult.

Run time: 2 hours
