One of the unique gifts given to our community by the RSO is the dedication shown by members of the orchestra. The musicians of the RSO are truly a family, many having performed with the orchestra literally for decades. This stability and continuity- and friendship- builds over the years a sense of communication and musicality that is unparalleled.
Principal Harpist Wendy Kerner joined the RSO thirty years ago in 1984. Juilliard-trained, Wendy delights audiences with her unique virtuosity and elegance. On December 6th, Wendy is treating audiences to a rare solo appearance by the harp in a delightful work by French composer Marcel Grandjany, Aria in Classic Style.
Another gift that the RSO gives every concert season is the appearance of new friends, internationally acclaimed artists, in our own community. Soprano Heather Buck performs worldwide to critical and audience acclaim every concert season. Her angelic voice will be featured in Mozart’s sublime Exsulate Jubilate, as well as in traditional songs of the season.
Also on the program are holiday classics- White Christmas, Sleigh Ride and I’ll be Home for Christmas- along with many other seasonal favorites. And as the grand finale, what can top a good old fashioned audience sing-along of carols!
Join us in a special evening of holiday music and open the RSO’s gift to the community- the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra’s Annual Holiday Celebration! Tickets begin at only $25, $20 for seniors, $15 for students, and are available online at www.ridgefieldsymphony.org or by calling the RSO Box Office at 203-438-3889. Come enjoy the company of friends old and new with the RSO!
