This season marks the San Juan Symphony’s 40th anniversary, and we’re celebrating with 40 Years. 40 Reasons. One Community. In the weeks ahead, we’ll be sharing moments from our archives — the musicians, performances, and memories that have shaped our story. Each post is a piece of the legacy that’s brought us here, and an invitation to be part of what comes next. Our first is a throwback to Jan Roshong, the San Juan Symphony filled the hall with the drama of Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture and the elegance of Reinecke’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra. The 60-piece orchestra, featuring flutist Rochelle Mann and Howard Hanna, reminded audiences that great music isn’t just for the big city — it thrives here at home. Help us tell the story of the San Juan Symphony. Share your favorite memory in the comments. 40 Years. 40 Reasons.
