Sounds of the Season
Sunday, December 8, 2024—4 PM
Lensic Performing Arts Center
Experience a brilliant program packed with winter favorites the entire family can enjoy under the baton of Maestro Guillermo Figueroa, with a special guest conductor appearance by Laurie Rossi. TOGETHER is better, and we are thrilled to share the stage with the “future players” from our Santa Fe Youth Symphony Orchestra, prepared by Maestro William Waag—the first side-by-side performance since our merger with the Santa Fe Youth Symphony! Enjoy a very special appearance by violinist Jocelyn Kirsch, this year’s senior division winner of The Symphony’s 2024 Concerto Competition. Rounding out the program is an audience sing-a-long led by our very own Carmen Flórez-Mansi. Reserve your seats now, this popular concert often sells out. No preview talk.
