The East Texas Symphony Orchestra’s 2020-2021 season will feature local talent, a celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday and a partnership with Texas College in music that spans classical, rock and Broadway genres, the orchestra announced.

“There is definitely something for everyone on this season,” Music Director Richard Lee said in a prepared statement. “We wanted to create a season that will appeal to our loyal subscribers and entice first-timers alike, and I think we’ve done that with these programs.”

ETSO is cautiously hopeful that the season can go on as planned, Executive Director Vanessa Gardner said in the news release. Subscription renewals and new subscription orders will be processed starting the week of April 20 and single tickets will go on sale later in the summer.
