Following this lively opening, the orchestra will present "Suffolk Suite" by the accomplished female composer, Doreen Carwithen. A child prodigy who began her musical training at the age of four, Carwithen was a pioneering force in the mid-20th century. The performance of her work underscores WOA's commitment to celebrating the contributions of women to classical music.

A special and stirring moment of the program will feature the winner of the most recent "Pass the Baton" drawing, who will step to the podium to lead the orchestra in a poignant and powerful arrangement of Samuel A. Ward's timeless anthem, "America the Beautiful."

The highlight of the afternoon's program will be selections from Modest Mussorgsky's vibrant and dramatic masterpiece, "Pictures at an Exhibition." This timeless classic brings an entire art gallery to life through the medium of music. Inspired by a posthumous exhibition of paintings and drawings by his friend Viktor Hartmann, Mussorgsky composed this suite to musically represent ten of the artworks. The famous "Promenade" theme, a recurring melody throughout the piece, acts as a beautiful musical depiction of a visitor walking from one painting to the next, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for the listener.
