Setnor Auditorium, Crouse College
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Together We Are Stronger marks Maestro Diego Barbosa-Vásquez's inaugural concert as music and artistic director of the Syracuse University Symphony Orchestra and the beginning of a new artistic chapter of one of Setnor's flagship ensembles.

Conceived as a musical journey rather than simply a collection of works, the program moves from resilience and reflection toward transformation, belonging, and collective celebration through Beethoven's Egmont Overture, Sibelius's ???????Valse Triste, the fourth movement of Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, "???????From the New World", and Lucho Bermúdez's Colombia Tierra Querida in a symphonic arrangement by LATAMScores. Each work brings a distinct musical tradition and perspective into the same artistic conversation, asking a central question: What can we become together?
