announce their return to the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on October 22 at 7:30 pm, for
Homecoming: Opera Returns with Shawn Roth and Ravel’s Bolero.

This extraordinary piece starts with just a few instruments, slowly building in what has been
described as “the world’s greatest crescendo.” Grammy® Award-winning JSO Music Director
James Blachly says” “Ravel’s Bolero is one of the most famous pieces we will play this year and
is truly beloved by all. If you have never heard it live in the concert hall, you are in for a treat!”

Up and coming Opera Tenor, Johnstown native and Richland High School graduate,
Shawn Roth, will be putting on blockbuster operatic performances including selections from
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. ” We are incredibly excited for Shawn Roth to
be performing for our first concert of Season 94: Homecoming,” says Erin Codey, JSO Executive
Director. “This season is focused on celebrating and highlighting the amazing homegrown
talent we have here in our region, and Shawn is a great example of this. You will leave this
concert feeling energized and with a new love for Opera.” In addition to Shawn Roth, local
soprano Nicole Khouzami, will be joining him on stage for two duets and an all-star chorus of
performers from Conemaugh Township High School and Richland High School.
The Johnstown Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to connecting our community with
sound and providing music for all.
