Dear Friends,
Symphony Arlington has brought the sound and wonder of great classical music to the community for thirteen years. Today, like other large and small orchestras across the nation, Symphony Arlington is adapting to the evolving needs of the communities it serves. This season, as always, Symphony Arlington continues to present the highest quality performance opportunities for our patrons and community. In addition, Symphony Arlington recognizes the positive effect that music has on academic success, and we continue to build our very successful educational programs in the public schools while reaching out to include children’s community groups.
With this letter we launch our Annual Fund Drive (February 01, 2013 – July 31, 2013) with a goal of raising $10,000. We continue to need your support, attendance at our concerts and the generous giving you have bestowed upon us in the past. I sincerely hope that you can and will continue to do so. In return, we promise to work with you to deliver meaningful seasons and continue our contribution to keep the arts alive.
During this time of giving we urge you to send in your donation of any size so that Symphony Arlington can continue to provide outstanding programming to you and our community.
Please join Symphony Arlington and the committed Board of Directors in supporting the Orchestra financially in our time of need. All you need to do is contact us with credit card information, cash or a check made out to: Symphony Arlington.
Cordially,
Robert Carter Austin
Music Director

Symphony Arlington's
2012-2013 Season, Viva España
The sensuous rhythms and exotic melodies of Spain will highlight the 13th concert season of Symphony Arlington. Titled “Viva España”, the 2012-13 Season will feature not just native Iberian composers such as Albéniz, Granados, and Turina, but also the many composers from other nations who have found the seductive sounds of Spain to be irresistible. The Symphony Arlington audience can look forward to Spanish music by Russians (Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol, Glinka’s Summer Night in Madrid), Frenchmen (Debussy’s Ibéria, Chabrier’s España, Ravel’s Bolero), Italians (Berio’s Ritirata notturno de Madrid), and other great composers from around the globe. Additionally, the season will explore music inspired by Spanish literature and from operas set in Spain: Don Juan by Richard Strauss, Wagner’s Parsifal Prelude, Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro, the ballet music from Verdi’s Il Trovatore, and much more. A distinguished international roster of guest soloists will collaborate with the orchestra, including native Spaniard Daniel del Pino playing Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain, Mexican-born guitarist Cecilio Perera offering Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, and Curt Thompson, Symphony Arlington’s Concertmaster, performing Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy. Subscribers can look forward to a musical fiesta as fiery as a Flamenco dance and as rich as a bottle of Rioja! Olé!
