he wait is finally over! The Symphony’s new season begins Saturday, October 1, 8 pm at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium with a matinee performance at the Mello Center Sunday, October 2, 2 pm. To open this momentous season — the last to be conducted by Maestro John Larry Granger — we present ... THE BIG APPLE! A big concert with some very big talent. The program will be off to a fast start with Rossini’s charged William Tell Overture. Rossini’s final opera, Gilluime Tell, was a tribute to the legendary marksman who shot an apple off his son’s head. The revolutionary and antiauthoritarian opera was censored in his Native Italy, but soon found its fame in Vienna. Today the work is best known for its overture, used as the theme music for The Lone Ranger. The driving, energetic pace of the William Tell Overture has made it culturally synonymous with the rhythm of the Wild West.
