Welcome to the 47th Season
Message from the Music Director

The 2011-2012 season is upon us and I have to say that I am extremely excited. At 127 strong, we are going to have one of the largest, and without a doubt,  one of the most talented Philharmonics in the organization's history. The

repertoire I have chosen will bring big challenges. The Sibelius First Symphony, Mark Adamo's Four Angels, and Stravinsky's Petrushka are not your usual youth orchestra repertoire, but I can guarantee that these wonderful works and the rest of our season's programs will bring to you all unprecedented musical rewards. This is going to be a truly great experience.

Best wishes always,
Daniel Spalding signature
