San Juan Symphony plans concert of Brahms, Bernstein material

The San Juan Symphony will perform a program focused on legendary composers Johannes Brahms and Leonard Bernstein at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Henderson Performance Hall on the San Juan College campus, 4601 College Blvd. in Farmington.

Maestro Thomas Heuser will lead the symphony, which will be joined by boy soprano Ben Hinkley and a choir made up of members of Caliente Community Choir in Farmington and the Durango Choral Society.

The concert opens with Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms," a group of selections from the Hebrew Book of Psalms, before concluding with Brahms' First Symphony, which the composer completed only after a long musical apprenticeship when he was 43 years old.

Heuser will offer a free preview of the concert at 2 p.m. Sunday in the performance hall.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $18 for seniors 65 and older and $8 for students 18 and younger. Visit sanjuansymphony.org or call 970-382-9753.
