Lori Hanson, general manager of the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra, says it's time to get to know the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra. On Saturday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m. The DSSO will present "Three Bs," featuring the music of Bach, Brahms and Barber. The program will include DSSO Concertmaster Erin Aldridge playing Samuel Barber's "Violin Concerto." The concert will be performed at Symphony Hall at the DECC.
