MASTERWORKS



Topping the LSO's musical agenda is MasterWorks, a dazzling series of six classical programs presented in twelve performances. Thrill to the fire, romance and color of masters ranging from Wagner, Mozart and Bernstein to Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Bartok. These are but a few of those whose works will be brought to passionate life in '95-96 by our own Maestro Albert-George Schram through the orchestral brilliance of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra. Add to this dynamic mixture the superb talents of guest artists such as violinist Liva Sohn....guitarist Richard Cobo... Lubbock's own concert pianist, William Westney.. world class vocal soloists Edith Davis, Wendy Hillhouse, Stuart Skelton and William Rhodes performing Verdi's dramatic Requiem...and the larger-than-life skills of pianist Andre Watts.
Great artists and great works of art which will enrich your world...pure musical eloquence...this is MasterWorks!

SUPERPOPS



Music fans who enjoy light classics, show tunes and pop / country crossover will find everything they're seeking in our brand new series - SuperPops!

The three featured concerts are listener-friendly frolics that will take you on a tune-filled tour of Broadway (Andrew Lloyd Webber and Other Cats)...over the snowy terrain and magical memories of your happiest Holiday Season as you and three marvelous choirs join Maestro Schram and the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the season in song (Holiday Pops)...then bring you face to face with the multi-talented Louise Mandrell, a dynamic musician and popular vocalist.

Three - count'em, three - great concerts, three wonderful orchestral performances, three musical events for the Lubbock's Municipal Auditorium. These concerts deserve to be in your datebook for 1995-96... include them in your planning for the Golden Season

ORKIDSTRA



New to LSO fans in 1995-96 will be the OrKidstra concert, an innovative concert expressly created to enchant, enlighten and entertain children. The madcap Garield and Odie as our special guest in a musical misadventure that will delight children of all ages.

This is must-see entertainment and a great start in music appreciation for the under-10 crowd. In addition, the intimate Hemmle Hall location of this concert will enhance even more the warm, rollicking atmosphere of fun! This concert should be on every parent's to-do list.

SANCTUARY SERIES

Still another harmonious hallmark of The Golden Season will be the inaugural performances of the LSO's own Lubbock Symphony Singers - a chamber choir featuring 24 professional voices performing for the first time under Maestro Schram's baton. The '95-96 debut of this exceptional choral ensemble with the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra will be a presentation of Handel's Messiah, followed by a March 5 concert for Lent highlighted by Mozart's Coronation Mass and the Pachelbel Canon.

These musical offerings, heard in the marvelous acoustics of local sanctuaries, will be magnificent tributes sure to make your spirit soar. Plan now to attend these special celebrations of voice and orchestra.
