Southeastern PA Symphony Orchestra in Concert

The 2024-2025 Season of Masterworks Concerts!

Masterworks Concert I - Saturday, 28 September 2024, 7:30 p.m.
Calvary Baptist Church, 1380 S. Valley Forge Road Lansdale, PA

Season 53 opens with an evening of music by American icon George Gershwin, including music from Porgy & Bess, An American in Paris, and the celebrated, jazz-inspired Rhapsody in Blue for its 100th anniversary featuring internationally noted Pianist Carl Cranmer.

Masterworks Concert II - Saturday, 2 November 2024, 7:30 p.m.
Calvary Baptist Church 1380 S. Valley Forge Road Lansdale, PA

Experience the music of Mozart in a whole new way.  Weaving turbulence and passion, Mozart’s instantly recognizable Symphony No. 40 is coupled with his Overture to La Clemenza di Tito and Beethoven’s witty and cheerful Fourth Symphony – and all by candlelight.  This concert sells out!

Masterworks Concert III - Saturday, 15 February 2025, 7:30 p.m.
Calvary Baptist Church 1380 S. Valley Forge Road Lansdale, PA

The performance opens with Wagner’s jubilant Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin with brass blazing and strings to capture the medieval tale of chivalry and betrayal.  Then SPSO presents one of the first performances of Greek-New Zealand Composer John Psathas’ All Seeing Sky, an evocative work for two percussionist soloists and orchestra, featuring world acclaimed percussionists Lynn Vartan and Weichin Lin.  Dvořák’s emotionally profound Seventh Symphony concludes the concert as a personal reflection on grief and joy.

Masterworks Concert IV - Saturday, 10 May 2025, 7:30 p.m.
Calvary Baptist Church 1380 S. Valley Forge Road Lansdale, PA

Be transported to a world of enchantment, imagination, and wonder with the timeless of allure of Stravinsky’s Firebird and a musical journey from the films of Harry Potter.
