Celebrate the vibrant sounds and rhythms of Latin American musical traditions with the Sunderman Conservatory Symphony. The program brings together beloved classics, popular canciones, and new works, showcasing boleros, dances, and new compositions. Featured pieces include Rhythm Dances by Brian Balmages, Estampas by José Elizondo, Danza No. 4 by Ludovic Lamothe, the timeless bolero Bésame Mucho by Consuelo Velázquez, and Estrellita by Manuel Ponce. A highlight of the evening will be the world premiere of Canción de la Gente, an overture by Gettysburg’s own student composer, Penelope Michua-Brooks.

The Gettysburg College Symphony Orchestra forms the core of the orchestral program at the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College. The orchestra performs a wide variety of works that reflect both the high performance standards at the Sunderman Conservatory and the orchestra's place within the broader liberal arts community of Gettysburg College.

The ensemble is committed to providing a platform for both student and faculty soloists at the Sunderman Conservatory. Student soloists are selected through the annual Sunderman Conservatory Concerto Competition. Additionally, the College Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to performing new music, including world premieres.

Tickets will be available starting one week prior to the show at the Box Office, 25 Carlisle St., Gettysburg, or by calling (717) 337-8200.
