The Ashland Symphony Orchestra is back on stage! We open our 2021-2022 concert season with a lifting musical journey celebrating love and fraternity, values that are keeping us together during these unique times. From Beethoven’s adoration sacrifice in his only opera Fidelio, we will land in the Caribbean region to experience the world premiere of Aquino’s exotic Lunga Pandemia, making us reflect in imaginative ways about how the pandemic has changed our lives.

We open with a work of uncommon beauty and feeling of timelessness: American composer George Rochberg’s Transcendental Variations, written as a response to personal tragedy. Mark Kosower, principal cello of The Cleveland Orchestra, will continue to transport and dazzle us with Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in D, G. 479 – a work that spotlights both the lyric and virtuosic aspects of the cello.

Music Notes
“We are happy and proud to support the Ashland Symphony Orchestra. It has a long history of bringing outstanding LIVE orchestral music to our community. We want to see this musical heritage continue far into the future.”
Bob and Jan Archer
``When we attend a concert, it sparkles and shines. Music is artfully played with moving renditions, expert quality and professional orchestration. In order to achieve that end product, it takes donors, such as yourself to take care of all of the expenses that are behind the scenes. No gift is too small, consider a tax-deductible gift to keep the music playing.``
Jane Roland, ASO Fund Drive Co-Chair
``Arts and Culture are what set a community apart and that is why Ashland has always been considered “someplace special”.``
Barb Queer, ASO Fund Drive Co-Chair
