Join us for this special concert celebrating the 90th anniversary of the orchestra’s first performance. That first concert, in 1936, took place at a time of great music, both classical and popular! The entire program consists of works composed in or debuted in 1936, and as you can well imagine, features a wide variety of styles, as well as a lot of American composers: George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Samuel Barber, and Aaron Copland. Join us for this celebration of the start and launch into the future of ETSO.
