The East Texas Symphony Orchestra opens its 65th Anniversary Season with a concert that brings together the works of two masters.  The program opens with young violinist Shannon Lee performing the "Spring" and "Winter" concertos from Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.  ETSO then is joined by guest soloists and the East Texas Symphony Orchestra Chorus for Beethoven's masterwork, the Symphony No. 9, "Choral".  It is certain to be a glittering way to begin this "Gem of a Season."

Please join ETSO and the Women's Symphony League after the concert for a special audience reception celebrating the start of the ETSO's 65th Anniversary Season.
