25th Anniversary Season 2010-2011

The San Juan Symphony's 25th anniversary is an opportunity to be thankful for the creativity and commitment that have built this organization over the years, and to look toward the future as well. I believe that "classic" means "always new." We play the classics because they always have something vital to say to us. A symphony orchestra of the 21st century is at once the curator of these great traditions, and a channel for the splendid talents of today's artists. By combining the old and the new in thoughtful ways, we offer an experience that lingers far beyond the concert hall, and builds culture and community within our busy daily lives.

This season's programs will further the SJS tradition of combining classic and popular works with attractive modern pieces. Brilliant soloists will join the orchestra on every program. In addition, we're proud to commemorate this momentous year by commissioning our first original composition, from popular composer and Farmington native, Sam Cardon. Sam's piece will get its first performance on the Silver Jubilee concert in November - our gift to you, and to the future of music in the Four Corners.
