Don’t miss the excitement of our 2012 opening concert, celebrating 40 years of the Warren Symphony Orchestra! To honor his decades of dedication to WSO, Conductor Emeritus David Daniels returns to lead the symphony in Johannes Brahms’ Tragic Overture. Music Director Gregory Cunningham conducts the World Premiere of On Greenstone Island, a work from the pen of award-winning Michigan composer Terry Herald, commissioned by the Warren Symphony on the occasion of its 40th anniversary.
This exciting and memorable concert then culminates with a masterpiece celebrating its own anniversary: 75 years since its premiere—Carl Orff’s poetic and powerful Carmina Burana, with special guests baritone Stephen Lancaster; tenor Drake Dantzler; soprano Tara Sievers-Hunt; Detroit Concert Choir, Gordon Nelson, Artistic Director; Cantata Academy Chorale, Susan Catanese, Music Director; and Macomb Childrens Chorus, Jeffrey Zurkan, Director
