Stories come in all forms. We tell stories to entertain, to communicate, to educate, to rupture boundaries, and so much more. Through stories, we may define ourselves, weaving hero’s journeys out of lives once lived or lives we dream to lead. Our stories can be rooted in childhood, shaped by archetypes, and steeped in societal expectations. Perhaps they are a reflection of the generations that came before us, a continuation of the narrative that shapes who we are—if we choose to embrace it. Or maybe, your story has always been wild and free, untamed by convention, waiting for its moment to be told.
As we journey through life, we are both the storytellers and the stars of our narratives. Each choice we make and each path we take adds a vibrant new thread to our existence. So, where do we find ourselves in this beautiful web of tales? Are we the heroes, the guides, the adventurers, or perhaps the dreamers? What story are we living, and more importantly, what story do we aspire to tell?
In this season of Stories, we invite you to explore these questions with us. Let’s celebrate the narratives that have shaped us, consider the stories we’ve been told, and thoughtfully craft new tales that reflect the joy, growth, and potential within us all. Whether through music, theater, or the written word, let’s share our stories, embrace our roles with purpose, and create a season that’s not just about telling these tales, but about living them with creativity and intention.
Conductor’s Notes
“It is with great anticipation that we look forward to the OVOC 2024-25 season: “Stories.” This season, we will be exploring music that tells a story. Whether it is thematic storytelling, operatic, or a story actually being narrated, this season is certain to delight! Throughout the year, you can plan on hearing the Orchestra play such favorites as Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, and How to Train Your Dragon. The Chorus will be singing Shenandoah, Hymn to Red October, and music combining voices with brass instruments in Cantique de Jean Racine. For the season finale, you can look forward to hearing music from Carl Orff’s musical setting to Medieval poems, Carmina Burana, which will combine the forces of the orchestra and chorus. We are looking forward to another exciting and inspiring year of music-making and hope you and your friends will join us. Thank you for supporting the magic of community music!” Mathew Brown and Derek Pulsifer
