October 26, 2025 in Norwood
October 27, 2025The Parkway Concert Orchestra began its 80th Season with a near-capacity audience on a fine October afternoon. The program featured selections from the 40's as a nod to music composed in the era in which the Orchestra was formed. Highlights of the celebration included recognizing FIVE previous conductors in attendance, and an electrifying performance of Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen, Opus 20" by violin soloist Sarah Rogers, who is also the Orchestra's Concertmaster. We had a heart warming reunion with the following present and former conductors: David F. Coccia, 1979-1989 Paul James D’Angelo, 1989-2002 Lawrence Isaacson, 2002-2005 Matthew Fritz, 2008-2013 Geneviève Leclair, 2013-2019 Thomas Kociela, 2019-present
