Our Spring 2025 program takes its name from the Old English rhyme that details what a
wife should wear at her wedding: something old for protection, something new for
optimism for the future, something borrowed for good luck, something blue for fidelity,
and a sixpence in her shoe for financial prosperity.
Our musical selections will reflect each of those sentiments with Peter Warlock’s Capriol
Suite of Renaissance Dances representing the old, Dvorak’s New World Symphony the
new, Mozart’s Variations on a theme the borrowed, and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue,
celebrating its centennial year, the blue. Our orchestra will conclude the program with a
string orchestra arrangement of John Rutter’s Sing a Song of Sixpence.
Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue,
And a sixpence in her shoe.
The concerts are free and open to the public, though freewill donations will be accepted and are much appreciated.
