presented on Saturday, December 15. This<br />
staged musical concert includes five singing<br />
actors and the Inland Master Chorale, under the<br />
direction of Dr. Joseph Modica. The musical<br />
score includes the Emmy nominated song “No<br />
Trouble.”<br />
“Since I arrived in Redlands, many people<br />
have asked me why the Redlands Symphony<br />
does not perform during the holiday season,”<br />
according to Wilson. “I believe we should and<br />
now we will, with this wonderful musical-retelling<br />
of the classic Dicken’s Christmas story. It’s<br />
a marvelous piece of music and we have already<br />
started work on the production, so it will be<br />
grand, entertaining, and memorable; the perfect<br />
way to celebrate the holiday season for the entire<br />
family.”<br />
Season subscribers will be offered an opportunity<br />
to purchase additional single tickets for<br />
the holiday concert, before they go on sale to the<br />
public. Group sales for this special performance<br />
are also available and can be arranged by calling<br />
(909) 587-5565. This concert would be an ideal<br />
way to gather larger groups of friends, family,<br />
employees, and members of an organization for<br />
a festive Christmas celebration.<br />
On February 2, 2019, Maestro Wilson<br />
continues his exploration of the works of Mozart<br />
with a concert titled The Magic of Mozart.<br />
This concert will feature the solo appearance<br />
of Lawrence Dutton and Phil Setzer, members<br />
of the world-famous Emerson String Quartet,<br />
performing Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for<br />
Violin, Viola and Orchestra, K. 364. The program<br />
also includes Divertimento in D, K. 136,<br />
and Symphony No. 36 “Linz”, both by Mozart.<br />
Maestro Wilson will conduct.<br />
“The appearance by members of the Emerson<br />
String Quartet with our orchestra here<br />
in Redlands will be a banner musical event,”<br />
according to Maestro Wilson. “They perform<br />
and are in demand throughout the world, and I<br />
am very excited they have agreed to play with us<br />
in Redlands.”<br />
