Soloists Cory McKern, left, and Gemma Kavanagh were among the roughly 150 musicians who took the stage for the San Juan Symphony’s ambitious and sweeping “Opera Celebration” concert Sunday at the Community Concert Hall. Linda Mack Berven, right, was the guest conductor of the evening, which featured pieces by Mozart, Bizet, Verdi and Borodin performed by the symphony orchestra, the Durango Choral Society and the Caliente Community Chorus. As the concert drew to a close, musicians were treated to a standing ovation.
