Upcoming 2022-2023 Season Concerts

October 1 — Free BONUS! Gustavo Romero Piano Recital
Special BONUS concert offered to all! 3:00 pm — Austin College Campus, Wynne Chapel In partnership with Austin College and the AC Music Department, superb pianist Gustavo Romero will be coming to play a recital of all Rachmaninov piano music.

October 28 — Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 6 (“Pathetique”)
A favorite composer, a notorious piece, a huge orchestra, and a possible mystery very close to Halloween–what could make for a more enjoyable evening? Join the SSO for the 2023 – 2024 season opening concert as the orchestra plays Tchaikovsky’s great Symphony No. 6. The title is normally given in the French as Pathetique, but a better translation of the Russian might be Passionate. All sorts of stories have grown up in the wake of this symphony’s premiere, since the composer died just over a week later. Did we mention that the premiere was also October 28, exactly 130 years ago? There might be more spooky coincidences at this concert but you’ll have to come to find out. We’re dying to see you! more...
