Conductor Ian Passmore returns to the Oak Ridge Symphony with a program that celebrates beauty in simplicity. Schubert’s graceful Symphony No. 5, Florence Price’s heartfelt Adoration (arranged for strings), and the beloved original suite of Copland’s Appalachian Spring come together in a concert full of warmth, clarity, and American spirit. “I fell in love with this orchestra and community when I first visited in 2022,” says Passmore. “It’s a joy to return with music that feels so perfectly at home here.”
