IMAGINE! Reflecting on the Past –
Dreaming of the Future
Welcome to the Quincy
Symphony’s 2012-2013 musical season. As I begin my sixth season
as Music Director, it’s important to pause and reflect on past
traditions and new achievements. The QSO organization can be proud of
its collective accomplishments, which include not only exciting
performances of existing masterworks, but also the exploration of new
music and new multimedia concert hall experiences. Growing
regional audiences acknowledge the quality of these performances and
enjoy a renaissance of symphonic art. I must extend special
thanks to the thousands of concertgoers who have shared in our
collective artistic experience.
How can last season be surpassed? The opening concert of the 2012-2013 season will feature the world premiere of a commissioned overture by Bill Camphouse, Brian Kubin performing the Elgar Cello Concerto and Borodin’s powerful Symphony No. 2. The November choral concert will pay homage to several long-time chorus members. In December, the orchestra, chorus and children’s chorus will celebrate the holiday season with a wonderful program featuring both traditional arrangements and colorful, new settings by composer/arranger Jim Stephenson. The Young Artists program in February will showcase not only our solo competition winners, but also Saint-Saens’ dramatic and triumphant Symphony No. 3 or “Organ Symphony.” The March choral concert will be a fun reflection on childhood memories through songs we all remember from popular TV shows and movies of the past. The concert season will conclude with a Symphonic Pops concert (repeated in Keokuk, IA) focusing on the music of George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. Program highlights include Porgy and Bess, On the Town and An American in Paris. Join us for another dramatic season of music making and be a part of the Quincy Symphony’s resonating artistic future. Bruce Briney Music Director, Quincy Symphony Orchestra
