While the economy has imposed a new normal on many of us, we’d
like to acknowledge the blessings which are both priceless and timeless.
The SJS is especially thankful to you, our audience and patrons, for the
enthusiastic support that’s kept us playing. Come share the abundant
spirit of this music with us.

Composers past and present are just as busy as the rest of us. They gather
inspiration wherever they can find it but the most reliable source is their
own well of experience and feeling. This season finds them in their most
thankful and generous moods.
2011–2012
our deepest thoughts and desires. This year the San Juan Symphony
presents A Season of Appreciation, music to express gratitude for some
of the gifts we enjoy in every day life. We’ve chosen music that speaks
to just a few of the things that many of us cherish—Friends and Family,
Community, Laughter, Nature.

Johnathan
Harris, Artist
At a young age, the beauty
and charm of the Southwest
landscape captivated
Johnathan Harris and soon
became the subject matter
for his paintings. Above it All
was chosen for our 20112012 season to represent the
appreciation felt for the beauty
and blessings of the Four
Corners area. His artwork is
represented in many galleries.

Mendelssohn believed music had a unique power to promote social good
and create community. He revived the oratorios of Bach and Handel for
their power to bring people together. This program touches on the things
that can bring us together, whether they be cultural, political, religious, or
just fun. We’ll create as much community as we can fit onto the stage, with
the Durango Choral Society, Caliente Choristers, and our annual Side-bySide with music students.

City life in Beethoven’s time wasn’t so different from today. In the summer
the composer escaped the heat, the crowds, and the Hummers by fleeing to
his beloved countryside. We welcome springtime with Beethoven’s Pastoral
Symphony, music filled with the sounds and feelings of outdoor frolicking.

When Haydn wanted to send the message to his boss that his
musicians were overdue for a vacation, he wrote a symphony that called
for them to leave the stage one by one, until only a single violinist was left
fiddling to the last bar. The Prince got the joke and sent the players home
to their families. Join us for smiles and laughter.
We’re delighted to welcome emerging conductor
Oriol Sans from Barcelona, and young cellist Katherine Audas, who’s
already made a splash here with Music in the Mountains.
Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations is brimming with the composer’s affection
and admiration for his close friends and family. The fourteen variations are
loving and often humorous musical portraits of the people dearest to him.
We welcome back a long-time friend of music in the Four Corners, brilliant
pianist Norman Krieger, and we’ll give an encore performance of a beautiful
piece by Farmington native Sam Cardon.
