Get ready to cha-cha-cha and pirouette through a night of musical delight at our season finale, "Song and Dance!" This electrifying spectacle marks the grand farewell of our beloved Maestro Lawrence Golan after an incredible 11-year stint as the maestro behind our toe-tapping magic.
As we lace up our dancing shoes and dip into this symphonic dancefloor, led by the sensational guest conductor Jesús Parra, winner of the 2023 DPO International Conducting Competition, and the incomparable Maestro Golan, we invite you to savor the rhythm of Rossini's lively Overture to Il barbiere di Siviglia, glide through Schubert's Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished," waltz to Strauss Jr.'s enchanting Kaiser-Walzer, and two-step to Copland's spirited Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo. It's time to boogie oogie oogie!
As we bid a fond farewell to Maestro Golan, let’s not just applaud a conductor but honor a dance partner who has led us through a symphonic waltz, a lively tango, and every beat in between. Lawrence, your artistry has been our choreography, and without you, our musical dance wouldn't have been as vibrant.
The orchestra has swayed to your rhythm, and we've pirouetted through seasons of exquisite performances, reaching heights that once seemed unreachable. Your dedication has been the driving force behind our symphonic journey, and for that, we are eternally grateful. Now, as we dance into the future, we extend our deepest thanks to Maestro Lawrence Golan for his unwavering commitment, transformative artistry, and the countless moments of musical bliss he has bestowed upon us.
And here's your golden ticket to join us on this musical dancefloor in the upcoming season with our recently announced season ticket packages. Subscribers enjoy a dazzling 30% discount on full-price tickets, and that's not all— additional events, including Oktoberfest and our spring gala, "Back to the Orchestra," await our cherished subscribers.
Let's create a symphony of memories, honoring Maestro Lawrence Golan and dancing into the future together!
