2008-09 Pomona
College Orchestra
Repertoire
The Pomona College Orchestra presents four full-length programs each season.
In the four years of a typical college career, a huge amount of music can be
enjoyed and performed. As always, the orchestra’s repertoire includes music in
a wide historical range, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Some
pieces are established masterworks, while others are lesser-known gems that few
musicians ever get the chance to explore.
Eric Lindholm was on leave during the Spring 2009
semester. The March 2009 program was
conducted by Ray Burkhart and the April 2009 program was conducted by Donna Di
Grazia.
