 Dear Friends,
The Edgewood Symphony Orchestra welcomes you to our exciting new season. Our musical destination is Paris! Explore the majestic grandeur of Franck’s Symphony in D, the magic of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the passion and tragedy of Carmen, and the impressionistic dreams of the Faun by Debussy. Join us in a year-long celebration of the most intoxicating French music, culminating with the haunting visions of Symphonie Fantastique, the programmatic masterpiece which transformed Romanticism for all of Europe. As part of this Gallic celebration we are delighted to bring you the incredible performances of our own ESO soloists Galina Istomin, Barbara Folb, Susan Wagner and Peggy Greb. We look forward to seeing you.
Vive la France!

The ESO's Mission:
The Edgewood Symphony Orchestra is made up of volunteer musicians who, under the leadership of a professional Conductor and Concertmaster, the ESO strives to maintain the highest quality of performance consistent with a volunteer orchestra.
 Walter Morales
Music Director
The ESO nurtures a tradition of classical symphonic music on the community level and functions as an integral part of the community in ways that are consistent with maintaining artistic integrity and fiscal responsibility. The ESO provides its host community with prestigious cultural events, exposure to classical music, and publicity for the community. Through a standard performance series, and via collaborative outreach and educational programs, the ESO establishes important links among professional musicians, amateur musicians, high school musicians, and the community at large.
