Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra Announces 2026-27 Season

SCHENECTADY — After the final concert of the 2025-26 season last weekend, the Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra (SSSO) announced the shows coming to Schenectady and Saratoga Springs during the 2026-27 season, “Repertoire and Orchestration,” to celebrate Proctors’ 100th birthday.

Kicking off the season at Proctors, their first concert, “Across the Channel, Across the Pond,” will be on the MainStage Sunday, Oct. 25. The SSSO will take patrons on a journey through Spain and the New World to the grandeur of France in a program that celebrates music without borders. Marc Migó’s “Carnival de las Indias” will be brought to the stage with narration by Annie Dutoit. Then, Saint-Saëns’ “Organ Symphony.”

Separate from the official season, the SSSO will be back with their annual favorite, “Poinsettia Pops,” for two performances at Universal Preservation Hall, Dec. 5 and 6.

Concert two of the season brings Hollywood to life with “A Night at the Movies” on the MainStage at Proctors on Sunday, Jan. 23. From love themes to adventure scores, this cinematic celebration showcases the music that defines Hollywood favorites.

A pairing of Opera Saratoga and the SSSO brings concert three, “A Night at the Opera,” to UPH on Saturday, March 27. The program brings the grandeur of the opera house into the intimate setting of the Great Hall with an evening of arias, choruses, and theatrical moments.

The season culminates with concert four, “Resurrection,” on the MainStage at Proctors on Sunday, April 18. Mahler’s “Symphony No. 2,” the monumental “Resurrection,” is a journey from darkness to hope. Featuring soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists and the Octavo Singers, this masterpiece calls for massive orchestral forces and delivers emotional impact.
