In keeping with tradition, RCO’s spring concert continues to acknowledge our talented youth. This year we are highlighting 16-year-old student composer Colin Surabian. The rest of the program explores the gamut from well-known artists to those yet-to-be-known.

Surabian The Tragedy of Macbeth (for Strings)

Still The Little Red Schoolhouse (Woodwinds)

Haydn Symphony No. 99

Ponchielli Dance of the Hours (from “La Gioconda”)

RCO is an all-volunteer ensemble devoted to the cultural enhancement of the community through the presentation of diverse offerings of symphonic music, from classical to pops. Maestro Dingwall Fleary, Reston Community Orchestra’s (RCO) Music Director and Principal Conductor since 1996, suddenly passed away on December 31, 2022. Although he can never be replaced, RCO is seeking a new leader to carry on our vision and help the group continue to thrive.  With support from grants, and contributions from local businesses, corporations, audiences and its performing members, the RCO performs low-cost concerts, fulfilling its pledge to provide “Great Music for a Great Community!”
