The Toledo Symphony Orchestra will be concluding its 2021-2022 season with two patriotic performances.
The first will be the last Keybank Pops concert of the season – a tribute to John Philip Sousa “Stars and Stripes Forever” coming in late May. The Promedica Masterworks series finale “America in the Key of Gershwin” will follow in early June.
The orchestra, under the baton of its principal conductor Alain Trudel, will pay homage to “America’s March King” John Philip Sousa with fanfare and humor as it presents an eclectic patriotic program of Sousa favorites, such as “the Armed Forces Salute.”
It will be over Memorial Day weekend on Friday, May 27, starting at 8:00 pm at the Peristyle Theater.
Conductor Alain Trudel will lead the orchestra and guest pianist Charles Rickard Hamelin in “America in the Key of Gershwin” the following Friday. The performance will begin with “American the Beautiful,” a symphonic overture composed by Wang Jie. That will be followed by “Origin Story” by Christopher Dietz and “Altere,” a piano concerto written by Alain Trudel. The evening will end with George Gershwin’s “Catfish Row Suite,” including pieces from the composer’s opera “Porgy and Bess.”
America in the Key of Gershwin is scheduled for June 3, also starting at 8:00 pm in the Peristyle Theater, 2445 Monroe Street.
