The Sault Symphony Orchestra presents an Orchestra Kaleidoscope

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON (September 13, 2010) - The Sault Symphony Orchestra is excited to present Orchestral Kaleidoscope to kick-off their 38th season.

On September 25, the Soo Theatre in SSM, Michigan will be filled with the sights and sounds of this rich and diverse concert event.

Orchestral Kaleidoscope offers a prismatic approach to both the repertoire and the physical movements of the orchestra.

Conductor Dr. John Wilkinson leads the orchestra through a variety of classical and pops favourites, while the,musicians themselves create a physical movement of sound as they journey through the theatre and the audience.

The diverse program includes such favourite classics as Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto Grosso in B minor, Opus 3 No. 10 from L’Estro Armonico, Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, W. A. Mozart’s Adagi o from Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, and Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky’s Finale from Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 among many others.

This evening of music and movement also features a special performance of Firewagon Hockey, an original Canadian composition by Sault Ste. Marie’s own Stephen Mallinger.

Audiences will also receive a special solo violin performance by this year’s Kiwanis Shield Award winner, Victoria Jones, and they will delight in a variety of pops arrangements including a Star Wars medley and selections from Fiddler on the Roof.
