Executive Director of the Ashland Symphony Orchestra, Martha Buckner, and Conductor Finalist, Darwin Aquino stopped by the WRDL Studios on Friday, September 17 to preview the upcoming “Welcome Back” performance for the ASO. According the organization’s website, ASO opens the “2021-2022 concert season with a lifting musical journey celebrating love and fraternity, values that are keeping us together during these unique times. From Beethoven’s adoration sacrifice in his only opera Fidelio, we will land in the Caribbean region to experience the world premiere of Aquino’s exotic Lunga Pandemia, making us reflect in imaginative ways about how the pandemic has changed our lives.” For a full list of concert and event schedules, please visit www.ashlandsymphony.org/schedule.
