Leonard Bernstein Centennial From Broadway to the silver screen
and everywhere in-between, Leonard Bernstein personifies the ideal
American musician. A visionary composer, conductor, and educator,
Bernstein brought classical music into the American household and
used performance as a response to political turmoil in the 20th
century. His life and works will be center stage with the San Juan
Symphony as we celebrate his centenary year, featuring movie music
from On The Waterfront and familiar favorites from Candide and West
Side Story.

Pastoral Reverence Celebrating composer David Lingle’s impact on
our local choral community, the San Juan Symphony is proud to
present Requiem for Eagles as part of a continuing collaboration
between the Durango Choral Society and Telluride Choral Society.
The soaring harmonies and gentle themes of Lingle’s Mass are paired
with other reverential offerings, including Beethoven’s beloved
“Pastoral” Symphony and Felix Mendelssohn’s first-hand rendering of
Fingal’s Cave in the Scottish Hebrides Islands.

Mann, Principal Flute of the San Juan Symphony, delivers a lyrical
Serenade by American composer Howard Hansen. Then local student
