SSO Presents Children's Concert 'Music About Earth and Beyond' March 7

The °®Æï¼§ Symphony OrchestraSALISBURY, MD---A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….

No, wait. Actually, it’s Saturday, March 7, in Holloway Hall Auditorium.

The °®Æï¼§ Symphony Orchestra at °®Æï¼§ (SSO) presents music from Star Wars during its annual Children’s Concert, “Music About Earth and Beyond.” Curtain is 3 p.m.

Directed by Dr. Jeffrey Schoyen, the SSO also performs movements from Gustav Holst’s The Planets: Suite for large orchestra. Written between 1914 and 1916, Planets has proven enduringly popular for nearly a century since its first performance in 1918. Also in the program are Beethoven’s sixth symphony (Pastoral Symphony) and selections from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Narration, visuals and the appearance of a few familiar characters will help take the audience on a journey through space — without leaving °®Æï¼§!

Admission is $10. Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.
