Ontario's Southland Symphony Presents "Genius"

ONTARIO, Calif. - March 28, 2018 - PRLog -- The Southland Symphony Orchestra is returning with "Genius" - A celebration of genius in music. Don't miss this upcoming performance on Saturday, April 21, at 3 PM at the Bethel Congregational Church (536 N Euclid Ave)!

The "not to be missed" concert includes music of Mozart, Gounod, Rossini, and Bernstein. Each selection celebrates an anniversary of genius in music. Mozart's Symphony No. 7 was written 250 years ago, when the composer was just 12 years old! The 200th anniversary of Gounod's birth is marked with this performance of his Ballet Music from Faust. Gioachino Rossini's Overture to The Barber of Seville is performed in observance of the 150th anniversary of the composer's death,  and in celebration of Leonard Bernstein's 100th birthday year, the orchestra brings you West Side Story Selections.

Music Director & Conductor Sylvia Lee Mann has just returned from taking SSO Chorus members to their triumphant performance of Mozart's Requiem at NY's Carnegie Hall with Distinguished Concerts International NY. Dr. Mann and the group were honored to have been invited to participate in the exclusive Presidents Day performance, and are further honored to have an open invitation to return for future performances. The Southland Symphony Orchestra and Chorus are fast becoming one of the finest musical experiences of the Inland Empire.
