Guelph Symphony Orchestra celebrates its 10th Anniversary season with five concerts and five guest conductors.
One of these will be selected as the new resident conductor of the GSO, starting in the 2011-12 season. Audience members are invited to contribute to the selection process, through a survey available after each concert.
Dreams of Vienna is back on New Year’s Day at 3pm at River Run Centre with conductor candidate Michael Newnham. This annual GSO Viennese-style musical feast is now a popular Guelph New Year’s Day tradition.
Two terrific soloists – Guelph’s own soprano Donna Ellen Trifunovich and mezzo Julie Nesrallah – give double the pleasure. And the orchestra plays waltzes, marches and polkas, complete with elegant dancers gliding over the stage. See www.thepso.org for information about the conductor.
“We all really enjoy performing this concert, with its light-hearted music,” said artistic director Simon Irving. “This year we offer not one but two fine singers with glorious voices and personalities to match. Add professional dancers and this is a great show to lift our spirits and start a new year.”
The Orchestra gratefully acknowledges the receipt of a grant from the Ontario Arts Council in support of the 2010-11 season. For information visit guelphorchestra.ca. For tickets call 519-763-3000.
