The Fremont Symphony Orchestra is celebrating its 50th anniversary season with a wide array of musical genres and guest artists for performances throughout the 2013-2014 season, along with the incomparable musicians of the Fremont Symphony Orchestra, led by Conductor/Music Director Gregory Van Sudmeier. The entire season is underwritten by the Fremont Bank Foundation, which is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The 2013 -14 season of the Fremont Symphony Orchestra kicks off with World Tour: Unity Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 8 pm at Smith Center, Ohlone College. FSO will demonstrate the richness of our world through a musical journey spanning over 300 years and 12 countries, exploring the diversity and unity of the human spirit.
World Tour: Unity begins in Russia with the final movement from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4. Maestro Sudmeier then leads the audience through an amalgamation of east and west as the Symphony plays Yangtze Boatmen’s Chantey and other Chinese folksongs, including the Prairie Song featuring the pipa with soloist Hecheng Liu. Koto master Shirley Muramoto follows with a blend of East-West music. Next will be selections from Indian composer A. R. Rahman’s Academy-Award-winning film score, Slum Dog Millionaire, followed by the incomparable Irish tenor, Liam Tiernan, who began his career in Belfast with the Barleycorns, selling three million records worldwide. America is represented with Gospel mezzo-soprano Erica Richardson and chorus performing Ragtime’s stunning song, ’Til We Reach That Day. The Reyes brothers, Carlos and Julio, add a South American touch with an energetic romp featuring Paraguayan harp and acoustic guitar. The performance returns to Europe with an Italian selection from Ennio Morricone’s beautiful film score, Cinema Paradiso, followed by the beloved French classic, Claude Debussy’s Clair de lune. Then the music comes back to Russia for the powerful finale, The Great Gate at Kiev from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. This celebration of 50 years of the Fremont Symphony Orchestra honors the wide variety of cultures in our community and the rich musical traditions of our orchestra, and celebrates our unity of spirit.
