One of the great thrills of my job as Music Director is designing a new season. It’s a bit like visiting one of the great libraries of the world. You wander through the near limitless shelves, heading towards something familiar, but always stumbling across exciting and unexpected treasures along the way. After sorting through so many possibilities that fire the imagination and take you to far-flung corners of the world, eventually you make your choices, and we end up with a season.
So this is where we’re at! After much exploration, we have lined up our 2022/23 season, and I’m excited to share it with you. Beethoven’s iconic Fifth Symphony starts us off, and Respighi’s glorious Pines of Rome ends the season, but there’s a whole lot more along the way. Our Pops series will celebrate a community Christmas, as well as a long-awaited return to the podium by the RSO’s Music Director Emeritus Victor Sawa.
See you at the concert!
