Los Alamos Symphony Orchestra Spring Concert

The Los Alamos Symphony Orchestra (LASO) and Dance Arts Los Alamos (DALA) present an evening of symphonic music and dance on Saturday, April 12, at 7 p.m. at Duane Smith Auditorium in Los Alamos. Admission is free, and all are welcome.

This vibrant artistic experience blends orchestral masterpieces with dynamic ballet performances. DALA will offer a special preview of La Lune de Bleu, an original three-act ballet by Artistic Director Jonathan Guise.

The concert will showcase excerpts, including Apollo’s dance, solos by Hera, Athena, and Nike, and a pas de deux between Selene and Endymion, performed by guest artist Aiden Moss from Ballet San Antonio. The full ballet premieres on May 2, with a matinee on May 4 at Duane Smith Auditorium, featuring choreography by Guise and other local artists, along with new costumes and scenic design by Los Alamos creators. The symphony will also feature world-renowned pianist Dr. Haewon Yang, performing Saint-Saëns' Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor. Under the direction of LASO’s conductor William Waag—who also leads the Santa Fe Youth Symphony and Santa Fe Community Orchestra—the program will highlight Othello Suite by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Finlandia by Jean Sibelius.
