San Juan Symphony 2007-08 Season
Song and Dance, melody and rhythm, the voice and the body alive
with the vibrant pulse of music. In a season that ranges
from Franz Joseph Haydn to Lennon and McCartney, the San Juan Symphony
celebrates the visceral expression that has been the heartbeat
of music since the first musicians stomped their feet and chanted.
Song & Dance takes us to Opera and to Broadway. In both
art and entertainment the magnificent voice and the poetic human
form are music’s essential elements, striving toward expression.
This is the music that runs in our veins. Join us for a season
both symphonic and popular – it’ll go directly to your
heart . . . and feet!

American music came of age in the boisterous
twentieth century.
Original, ingenious, unafraid, it’s a vigorous reflection
of the unique
American spirit. The SJS steps into a new venue in Telluride,
and the Durango and Telluride Choral Societies add their splendid
voices to American favorites.
