The Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra is launching its 2025-26 season with a concert titled “Echoes of a New World: Reflections on Resilience and Renewal.”
The music invites audiences to step away from the rush of life and experience music that speaks directly to the heart, according to a press release.
This program explores transformation and identity through the works of four composers. The concert opens with Johannes Brahms’ “Tragic Overture,” followed by Clara Schumann’s “Three Romances” (arranged for orchestra by William C. White and featuring violin soloist Joshua Facello) and Robert Schumann’s “Overture and Finale.”

The Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra is launching its 2025-26 season with a concert titled “Echoes of a New World: Reflections on Resilience and Renewal.”
The music invites audiences to step away from the rush of life and experience music that speaks directly to the heart, according to a press release.
This program explores transformation and identity through the works of four composers. The concert opens with Johannes Brahms’ “Tragic Overture,” followed by Clara Schumann’s “Three Romances” (arranged for orchestra by William C. White and featuring violin soloist Joshua Facello) and Robert Schumann’s “Overture and Finale.”
The afternoon concludes with Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, “Romantic,” a lush, quintessentially American work that captures the optimism and forward-looking spirit of a nation entering a new century, according to the release.
A special pre-concert talk, “Behind the Baton,” will be hosted by Maestro Kin Siu at 3:15 p.m., offering the stories behind the music in an engaging, conversational format. This 20-minute session is included with each concert ticket.
The concert starts at 4 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St..
