Mozart – Symphony No. 32 in G major •••••interval••••• Tschaikowsky – Symphony No. 5 in e minor About our soloist: Angelo Santoro was born of Italian immigrant parents. His father was a tailor and his mother a homemaker and artist. He was raised in the neighborhood of Oakley in Cincinnati, attended Oakley Elementary School and Withrow Junior/High School. His educational life at Withrow High was truly the highlight of his early years, a time for growing and gaining confidence in a school devoted to quality, spirit and great music. He was influenced by a musical family and at an early age began piano lessons (age 6) and clarinet (age 9). During high school he studied clarinet at the original Conservatory of Music and studied piano with Dorothy Payne. His interest in mathematics led to college studies in engineering at the University of Cincinnati where he graduated in 1958 with Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He is a professional engineer, professional surveyor, state certified building official and owner of Santoro Engineering Company founded in 1963. The company provides professional services in surveying, planning, design, engineering and management.
