The October 20, 2012, performance of the Sherman Symphony Orchestra (SSO) will be broadcast on KXII-TV Channel 12 on Saturday, November 17, at noon. The 30-minute broadcast will include Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1, movements one and three, with guest artist Scott Watkins at piano. Watkins has performed around the world, spending several weeks in China this summer. He also has made guest appearances with orchestras and solo performances throughout the U.S., including several performances at Carnegie Hall.
Daniel Dominick, associate professor of music at Austin College, has served as conductor of the orchestra since 1992 and invites regular attenders of the symphony to view the broadcast to relive special moments and encourages new viewers and listeners to take this opportunity to introduce themselves to the symphony.
During Dominick's leadership, he has added concerts to the season, including an educational program for fifth-grade children, and increased the size of the orchestra to more than 70 musicians. The repertoire of the orchestra has expanded to include the standard literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Sherman Symphony Orchestra is the only symphony orchestra between the Dallas-area and Tulsa. In May 2002, the SSO moved into its new home, the renovated Kidd-Key Auditorium, near downtown Sherman.
Next on the SSO performance agenda are the Christmas Pops presentations on December 1 at 7:30 p.m. and December 2 at 3 p.m., both the Side Richardson Center of the Robert T. Mason Athletic/Recreation Complex on the Austin College campus. The Pops performance includes special musical guests, seasonal music, festive decorations, and a family atmosphere. For ticket information, call 903.813.2251.
The Sherman Symphony Orchestra is a joint project of Austin College and the local community.
