““Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” say friends of the bride to ensure good luck in the marriage. Good advice to describe your ‘26-’27 season: “Revolutions!”

We open with music old and new music from films over the ages. In celebration of America’s contributions to film and film music, we will delight your ears and tickle your memories with music from the widest range of movies. From “Gone with the Wind” to “Taxi Driver” your mind’s eye with see Gable and DiNiro; Caron and Wayne as your ears soak in the most sophisticated of film music. Grab your popcorn and join us!

In November we celebrate “Revolutions”, music that revolutionized cultures and the arts. There is Beethoven’s Eroica written in the passions of post-Revolution Europe and then Mozart and his Figaro, the opera that tweaked and challenged the aristocracy. We come across the pond with something new - Philip Glass from his “Heroes” Symphony and finally, the music which revolutionized American Ballet – Copland’s Appalachian Spring.

We get jazzy “blue” for Christmas with award winning jazz singer Dominique Eade who will charm and delight with her vocal brilliance. We will again have those captivating voices of the young as we “borrow” two exceptional high school choirs to join the symphony for music that catches the youthful spirit of the season.

March brings the zing of strings as we get up close in the gracious coziness of Christ Church Methodist. There will be the bounding American energy of David Diamond and his Rounds for Strings, the majestic Vaughan Williams Variations on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, with musicians enveloping you with sonic emotion. And a little “blue” here too as we resurrect Charlie Parker’s Byrd with Strings; a “wedding” of jazz and orchestra strings.

We go to the ends of the galaxy in May as we perform, for the first time in Glens Falls, Gustav Holst’s monumental “The Planets”. This universe of sounds refers to both the celestial bodies and the Roman gods after whom they are named. We will “wed” those two ideas as we project some astronomical visuals as well as reading of selected odes to each of the gods. The stars fall on Glens Falls – be there to catch them with us!”
