Santa Cecilia Orchestra Sonia Marie De LeĂłn de Vega,
2015 — 16 Season
Director
W
elcome to the 2015-
2016 season of Santa Cecilia Orchestra! I’m delighted to share our vision for our 23rd spectacular year – a diverse and entertaining répertoire created for your enjoyment. In addition to an extraordinary new season, I am thrilled to introduce a new chapter in the orchestra’s evolution – the launch of the Santa Cecilia Arts and Learning Center. Located at our Eagle Rock headquarters, the Center will provide a home for many new arts programs that will be open to people of all ages in the community. We can’t wait to make you part of these ventures in the months and years to come.
2015.16
As we approach our 25th anniversary, we celebrate a long and eventful history. But we also continue to look to the future specifically, to sharing our passion for music and art through our performances, education programs, and now through our center. All of this – the past and the future – is made possible by the fantastic leadership of our board of directors, the support of our
principal funders, and the great generosity of many individuals. I offer my personal thanks for such wonderful partners in this magnificent venture! During 2015-16, we’ll inaugurate the Santa Cecilia Arts and Learning Center with a dynamic chamber series. The Center offers a smaller venue, so seating is limited and will sell out quickly. Your season subscription will ensure that you don’t miss a minute of the music or the festivities. Do not delay, subscribe today!
Make your selections now and guarantee your seats! Be sure to include any additional tickets for friends and guests, as concerts do sell out!
I’m looking forward to continuing our musical journey with you, our wonderful audience. See you at the concerts! Sonia Marie De León de Vega Director
