The Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra starts their 2022-23 season Saturday night in their Garde Arts Center home ballpark.

The program is damned impressive. Music director and conductor Toshiyuki “Toshi” Shimada welcomes guest soloist and Grammy award-winning cellist Sant’Ambrogio, who will play the Elgar Cello Concerto. In the second half of the concert, the ensemble will undertake the musical adventure known as Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony.
