2015-2016 SEASON
Welcome to the 50th Season!The Prince George’s Philharmonic celebrates its 50th Anniversary during the 2015-2016 season. It is also my
15th Anniversary as the Philharmonic’s Music Director, and I have never been more excited about our planned programs!
In October, we will present another soloist in the outstanding series of young artists who have won the Johansen International Competition for Young String Players, along with a performance of Beethoven’s mighty Eroica Symphony. Our November program will comprise three infrequently heard masterworks, including the delightful Violin Concerto by Eric Wolfgang Korngold, which will also feature the return of
one of our favorite guest artists, Amy Beth Horman. Our annual side-by-side program, which spotlights the Philharmonic’s commitment to education and community outreach, will mark a renewal of our collaboration with the Suitland Center for the Visual and Performing Arts Concert Choir for performances of two sacred works: the Gloria by Francis Poulenc, paired with a motet which Mozart composed during his pre-teen years. In March, we will perform some wonderfully colorful and evocative music, including an appearance by world-renowned pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, and a performance of Stravinsky’s ever-popular Firebird Suite. All of this leads to our gala 50th Anniversary Concert on May 22, 2016, when we will fill the University of Maryland’s Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center with the glorious sound of Gustav Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony, in partnership with the Heritage Signature Chorale and the Chesapeake Chorale. This promises to be a memorable season, filled with the very finest of orchestral music, as we pause to recognize many of the individuals who have played a significant role in helping the Philharmonic achieve this milestone in our history. Please join us for the celebration!

SPECIAL EVENTS
Dear Friends of the Philharmonic,
It is exciting to realize that nearly 50 years ago, residents of Prince George's County began enjoying symphonic music from their very own orchestra
composed of music lovers residing in the Bowie, Maryland area. Known then as the Prince George's Civic Orchestra, they performed their first concert in December 1965 at the recently opened Bowie High School.
Since that time, and a few growing pains later, the now famous Prince George's Philharmonic has expanded its scope to include The Anne Gentry Educational Outreach Program. Named for its founder, this outstanding program is also known as Symphony Kids. Through collaboration with the Prince George's County Department of Education, students receive one-on-one music lessons with a qualified
teacher during the school year and free tickets for their families to attend all Philharmonic concerts. They also perform an annual recital.
To those of you who are not familiar with the Prince George’s Philharmonic, come with us on a five-concert journey, beginning on opening night, October 10, 2015, through to our closing concert in May 2016. Bring your family and friends, and especially the children, and learn more about the orchestra and classical music. I promise you, it will be music to your ears - some familiar and some new!
Now sit back, relax and enjoy the music of our 50th Year. I look forward, with enthusiasm, to seeing you and greeting new friends and supporters during this concert year.
EDUCATIONAL OUTREACHThe Anne Gentry Educational Outreach Program provides free music instruction to deserving Prince George's County public school students who would otherwise be unable to engage in such instruction. Students in the Anne Gentry Educational Outreach Program, also known as Symphony Kids, receive one-on-one music lessons with a qualified teacher during the school year and free tickets for their families to attend all Philharmonic concerts. They also perform in an annual recital.
In addition, our educational outreach program offers an annual side-by-side for selected students; occasional masterclasses led by our guest artists; and an annual celebration of Music in Our Schools.
