Cinematic Symphony

The St. Augustine Orchestra is proud to bring their Cinematic Symphony to the Athens Theatre.  This concert features multiple cinema classics such as the Theme from Schindler’s List, Pirates of the Caribbean, Hymn to the Fallen, Forrest Gump Suite, Colonel Bogey March, and many others.

The St. Augustine Orchestra was founded in 1961 by Jack Van Brederode who served as conductor for several years.  Originally called the St. Augustine Symphonette, the ensemble went through a number of name changes, finally settling on the St. Augustine Orchestra (SAO).  In his sixth season with SAO, our current conductor, Maestro Scott Gregg continues to guide the group to new musical heights.

Among the most notable former members was violinist Hugo Ohlms, whose murals and colorful decorations still grace the interior of the Basilica Cathedral in St. Augustine.  Emil Maestre, internationally known cellist (the Emil Maestre Music Association was named in his honor) played with the ensemble whenever his busy performance schedule permitted.  For many years, Orchestra member Jack Page took the position of business manager and was elected president of the Board of Directors and held both posts until his retirement from the orchestra in 2002.  Currently, orchestra member Allyson Breger holds the position of Executive Director.
