Sousa Season Opener: By Request
The Sousa Season Opener once again takes its inspiration from the many brilliant programs conducted by the “March King” throughout his career, but this year’s concert added a special feature by allowing patrons the opportunity to choose the program from among some of Sousa’s favorite works. The winning pieces were then assembled to form an entertaining concert modeled after our most famous Director’s unique style. Besides several of Sousa’s marches and works by Wagner, Verdi, and Rimsky-Korsakov, highlights include cornet soloist Master Sgt. Michael Mergen performing Herbert L. Clarke’s “Nereid,” and mezzo-soprano Gunnery Sgt. Sara Dell’Omo singing “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice” from Camille Saint-Saëns’ opera Samson and Delilah. The concert is free; no tickets are required.
