SVS October 6, 2024 Concert Program

Letter from the Music Director Dear members of the South Valley Symphony family, Welcome to the first concert of our 51st season! This outdoor celebration blends old and new, with some American classics from the ballet and symphonic stages, and popular music from show tunes to big band. We decided to embark on this new, and fresh generation of the South Valley Symphony with a lighter, festive beginning. We hope that the ambience of the winery and the sounds of Americana will be pleasing to you with the joy we experience in making music for you. There is some sadness for us to share. Our dear friend, former board member, and longtime patron of the South Valley symphony Marty Cheek suddenly passed away. He was instrumental in providing us with publicity and moral support for many, many years. This concert will be dedicated to his memory. As we go forward with the South Valley symphony, please keep in mind that our December, March, and May concerts will also be blockbuster events and we hope that you will attend. Thank you for being with us today! Anthony Quartuccio, Jr. Music Director and Conductor
