Journey On together through musical favorites!
On the tails of our 20th anniversary concert, the Southern Tier Symphony is proud to present our 21st concert season, titled “Journey On!” In February, the Symphony hopes to take its listeners on an ‘Adventure’ involving toe tapping dance pieces from around the world. In September, we unfortunately hit a bit of rough travel, but fret not! We are proud to present a special chamber concert titled ‘Detour’ on March 2 and 3, featuring local professional musicians and budding student composers and performers. Finally, May brings with it ‘Musical Postcards’ from iconic places around the globe, compliments of Grainger, Dvorak, Borodin, and Schubert.
