Fifty years. Five decades. Any way you state it, reaching your golden anniversary is an accomplishment worthy of celebration.
The Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra has, since 1965, been presenting the greatest music ever written in world-class performances right here in our community. Music truly is their raison d’être; they always strive to bring the finest in music and artists to audiences, and the RSO have truly outdone themselves in celebration of their 2014-15 Golden Anniversary Season!
The season opens on October 4th with a pair of works breathing the crisp air of the Scandinavian North to usher in autumn- Sibelius' evocative, romantic First Symphony and Grieg's ever-popular Piano Concerto, arguably the best known and loved piano concerto ever written. The "old" world meets the "new" on the RSO's concert February 7th, 2015, with Dvořák's celebrated “New World” Symphony #9. Written while Dvořák was living and working in New York City in 1893, it embodies the invigorating spirit of 19th Century America. And as a fitting finale to an historic season, on May 16th, 2015, the RSO presents Beethoven's immortal Ninth Symphony, with the famous "Ode to Joy."
