In a program celebrating the extraordinary beauty of this region, JSO Concertmaster Maureen Conlon Gutierrez performs a hidden gem for violin and horn, joining with one of the greatest hornists ever, the legendary Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s principal horn, Bill Caballero. On the second half is Sibelius’s nature-filled and triumphant Symphony No. 2, a beautiful journey through landscapes of space and time

Our season finale is a concert that celebrates the strength of this community in overcoming adversity, and the way that beauty and faith guide us forward. Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony is his last symphonic statement, a work that is stunningly beautiful and expressive. Fauré’s Requiem is one of the most beloved choral works ever written – songful, soulful, and bringing us to a place of peace. The central movement, the Pie Jesu, will feature a young singer from the Johnstown region.
