And Tomorrow…                   

Saturday        

TCU Place    

The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra is set to close out it’s 2022/23 mainstage season with a little inspiration. And Tomorrow… is a performance featuring guest conductor Nicolas Ellis and Saskatoon’s own soprano Danika Lorèn. The entire program is focused on hope for the future and looking beyond our current reality. This performance is special to Lorèn as she’s been singing Richard Strauss’ Four Lieder, Op. 27 since she was in her late teens, when the orchestra’s CEO and creative producer Mark Turner accompanied her. It’s a pretty cool full circle moment. Stravinsky’s Firebird, Liszt’s Les Préludes, S. 97 and Tailleferre’s Petite Suite pour Orchestra round out the program. Tickets for this concert are $39 – $85 and it will also be available digitally at ConcertStream.tv.
