We are overjoyed to have Guest Conductor Teresa Cheung (Music Director, Altoona Symphony Orchestra) return to NASO for this gala anniversary season finale.  We are also proud to have joined the New York Philharmonic’s New World Initiative (NWI), a  community outreach project that evolved from the New York Philharmonic's 1893 world premiere of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, From the New World - the first major work composed in New York to gain enduring popularity.   The Largo (“Goin’ Home” ) movement opens this concert,  followed by the hauntingly beautiful Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss with featured soprano Jennifer Grimaldi, who is well known to New York audiences having appeared with many opera companies, festivals and orchestras in the region.   The first NASO performance in over 20 years of Respighi’s thrilling Pines of Rome concludes this very special season and showcases the many talented members of our orchestra.   Please join our celebration.
