Family Concert: The Harmony Games

Stiefel Theatre for the Performing Arts

Join Guest Conductor Yaniv Segal and pianist Sara Davis Buechner for our April performance.

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth

The Smith Center for the Performing Arts

Following rave reviews from last year’s event, Andrew Lipke will return to the Stiefel Theatre stage to continue the conversation about how music transcends boundaries. Performing alongside the Salina Symphony String Quartet (featuring Maestro Segal), Andrew will unveil the deep-rooted connection between the history of the string quartet in both classical and contemporary music through an evening of storytelling and performances of rock works, including original music by Andrew himself. Don’t miss this exciting 2nd annual collaboration with the Stiefel Theatre

Rock & Roll and the String Quartet

Uplifting tunes and exuberant rhythms abound in this concert of epic proportions. Following an immersive opener by Maestro Segal, the incredible principal cellist of The Cleveland Orchestra, Mark Kosower, will perform Friedrich Gulda’s Cello Concerto, a wild and catchy work described by the composer as “jazz, a minuet, rock, a smidgen of polka, and a march.” On the second half, Tchaikovsky’s monumental and heroic Fifth Symphony paints the ultimate picture of victory over strife. From the lush orchestration to the soaring melodies, you won’t want this concert to end!

Rocking Tchaikovsky

The highlight of the evening will be a concert featuring music from the Golden Age of Hollywood performed by the Salina Symphony under the direction of Music Director Yaniv Segal. Three local vocalists – Michelle Cardinal Dolan, Jacob Corman, and Grace Corman – will join the Symphony in celebrating music from Hollywood film classics made famous by Fred Astaire, Audrey Hepburn, and Judy Garland.

Salina Country Club

We open our season with America@250, a vibrant celebration of the many musical traditions that shape the American story. Conductor Yaniv Segal leads a program that travels from the lively folk-inspired sounds of the Appleseed Suite by O’Connor to the powerful jazz symphonic storytelling of Black, Brown, and Beige by Ellington. The orchestra revisits an early American symphonic tradition with Jubilee by Chadwick before launching into the thrilling orchestral spectacle of the Star Wars Suite. Spanning folk traditions, jazz, classical Americana, and cinematic adventure, this exciting program celebrates the creativity and spirit of American music as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.
