The ETSO season concludes with the World Premiere of a piece commissioned by the orchestra. Written by Dr. Kyle Gullings, Associate Professor of Music Theory and Composition at UT Tyler, “Gridiron Symphony” celebrates the traditions surrounding the East Texas passion for high school football. The concert also features other sports-themed works, including Olympic-inspired pieces by John Williams, Vangelis’s popular theme from “Chariots of Fire,” and Charles Ives’s take on the Yale-Princeton football rivalry. The entire family will enjoy this uplifting end to the 2023/2024 season.

We'll race around the track with the William Tell Overture, stretch it out in the 7th inning with Take Me Out to the Ballgame and learn the true meaning of sportsmanship with an athletic version of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.
