Photos: Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra kicks off 92nd season, “In Other Words”
The Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra kicked off its 92nd season, titled “In Other Words,” with an appearance at both Zankel Music Center at Skidmore College and the MainStage at Proctors.
This season of SSSO features music inspired by literary greats like Arthur Conan Doyle, Martin Luther King, Jr., William Shakespeare, and more.
Beethoven’s “Overture to Egmont” set the stage with heroic intensity, while Strauss’ “Macbeth” brought Shakespeare’s tragic character to life in dramatic orchestral form. The program concluded when SSSO was joined by guest pianist Philip Edward Fisher for Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphony No. 2, The Age of Anxiety,” a gripping, jazz-infused journey inspired by W. H. Auden’s epic poem.
