Sault Symphony Orchestra launches 2024-25 season with Music of the Americas at Machine Shop Sunday
After starting its last season with European Tour, the Sault Symphony Orchestra will launch its 2024-25 season with music from closer to home.
“We’ve come home to North America and South America. We have nine pieces on the program as well as O Canada and The Star-Spangled Banner. The program is a nice thumbnail sketch of the music of this part of the world,” said Stephen Mallinger, SSO artistic director and conductor in an interview with SooToday.
“We have pieces from Astor Piazzolla of Argentina. He did some incredible music over the years with regard to the tango. We have two tangos, one slow and one fast. It’s such a distinctive sound and style. And we have work from two other composers, José Moncayo and Arturo Marquez from Mexico. When you hear this music you cannot just sit there. It immediately kicks your whole body into life,” Mallinger said.
