The SSO’s 48th season opening concert is mostly about waking up in one way or another. Bach’s very famous “Sleepers Awake” cantata is a fitting introduction to the concert, while Haydn’s famous “Surprise” Symphony has the wake-up chord in the second movement! The waltz from Tchaikovsky’s famous Sleeping Beauty ballet is also a proper addition, as is the fabulous orchestral suite from John Williams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The same composer’s lovely theme from Angela’s Ashes is sandwiched between the Tchaikovsky waltz and Star Wars!Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Eugene Ormandy - "Sleepers Awake" (Chorale Prelude)
