SOGO’s 20th season Birthday Bash continues with the Conservatory Orchestra turning to music from 20th-century America. The March concert pairs the familiar with the overlooked. Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, "From the New World", depicts an outsider’s account of setting foot in the United States for the first time. Preceding the Dvorak, the orchestra will perform Dances in the Canebrakes, a work composed by African-American female composer Florence Price in 1953.

Also appearing: Brass Choir, Academy Orchestra, and Debut Orchestra.

Tickets: $11-$21, ($8-14 student/senior, age & 6 under free). $4 service fee applies for online purchases.
