Rocks Spirit & GamingJoliet Symphony Orchestra: Scintillating
The Joliet Symphony Orchestra concludes its 21st season with Scintillating, led by Artistic Director and Conductor Dr. Sean Paul Mills. The program features Weber’s overture to Der Freischütz, Reinecke’s Flute Concerto in D major with guest soloist Paola Cubillos, and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 6 in D major. Cubillos, a flutist from Bogotá now based in Kansas City, holds a Doctor of Arts in Flute Performance from Ball State University, a Master of Music from Missouri State University, and a Bachelor of Music from the National Conservatory of Colombia. Her honors include recognition at the Charleston International Spring Music Competition and top finishes in the Missouri Music Teachers Association woodwind competitions, and her performance credits span ensembles in Colombia and the United States, including the Banda Sinfónica de Cundinamarca, FOSBO, Cuarta Estación Ensemble, Enclave Latino, the Springfield-Drury Civic Orchestra, and the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. She also serves as Artistic Program Coordinator at Harmony Project Kansas City, supporting youth music initiatives and community engagement. This concert takes place in Sexton Auditorium within the Harold and Margaret Moser Performing Arts Center on the University of St. Francis campus. A free pre-concert discussion series, Noteworthy, offers a chance to explore the music, the orchestra, and the soloists while engaging in conversation with the conductor and guests. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors, alumni, and non-USF students, and free for USF students, music educators, and youth 18 and under with a current ID.
