A season of diversity!
Thank you all for a fabulous 2008-2009 season! It was such a joy and a privilege to be joined by such great artists as pianist George Li, violinist Elliott Markow, cellist Eve-Marie Caravassilis, oboist Amy Dinsmore. Thank you so much also to the wonderful Waltham Percussion Ensemble, led by the amazing Kevin Burke. Some of our performances can be seen on YouTube such as the performance George Li gave with us last March (YouTube). Indeed this was an amazing first season and the entire city of Waltham has enthusiastically embraced their new orchestra. We are excited to present to you our new 2009-2010 season. During this year, we will be introducing our outreach programs, celebrating our diversity and exploring some of our world cultures through rhythms and percussion. This new program, organized with the participation of our Waltham schools, is developed in collaboration with composer and Bentley University Dean, Shawn Hauserman. Our first concert, Saturday September 26, will feature internationally renowned soloist and WSO's principal harp, Victoria Crumb. The program will explore sounds and gestures through music by Debussy, Ravel, and also music by famed Pullitzer Prize Winner composer Yehudi Wyner. This is a concert not to miss. We will develop the ideas and concepts of this new season more in details on the orchestra blog. I recommend that you read the WSO blog regularly for additional information and fun trivia on the music and composers we perform as well as on the life of the orchestra. This new season will be exciting, and we want you to be part of it. Thank you all for your support to the WSO. See you all at the Symphony! Patrick
