Concord Orchestra: “Dreaming With Your Feet”

Past, Present, Encore!

We are delighted to embark on our second season with Music Director Zeke Fetrow and invite you to join us for a fascinating 2024-2025 season showcasing beloved masterpieces from the classical repertoire, rediscovered gems, and exciting contemporary works. We explore music from the era of Mozart and Beethoven to that of living composers Beal, Kurth, Marquez, and Tarrodi.

We welcome back guest conductor Alyssa Wang in a program featuring Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites and cello soloist Aron Zelkowicz.

In March 2025 we will present American Heritage concerts as part of Concord’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, featuring Concord native Richard Sebring, principal French horn with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a new work we’ve commissioned by composer Jeff Beal for the occasion.

We look forward to seeing you this season! Bring the whole family; youth attendance is free.

Visit our website for details on how to subscribe and to learn more about the programs, soloists, and guest conductor. If you missed our performance of Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture last season (or just want to hear it again), click here to watch a clip.

Songs for a New World

Jason Robert Brown’s “Songs for a New World” is a show somewhere between a musical and song cycle – a series of songs all connected by a theme: ‘the moment of decision’.
A small, yet powerful and diverse cast presents this rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, featuring tight harmonies and darling vocals.
“Songs for a New World” transports its audience from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land, to the ledge of a New York penthouse.
Characters range from the mother of a Revolutionary soldier awaiting the end of a brutal war, to a young man in the Bronx dreaming of becoming a famous basketball player, to a forlorn and neglected Mrs. Claus lamenting as Christmas approaches once again.

Performances: June 20 at 7:30pm/ June 21 at 2:00 and 7:30 pm/ June 22 at 2:00 pm

Tickets: $20.00 with reserved seating www.concordplayers.org

The Concord Players are proud to present this as part of Concord’s 250th celebration
