Colder weather doesn’t mean a slowdown in shows. While outdoor festivals get traded for indoor seasons from groups such as Symphoria and the Legends of Jazz Series at Onondaga Community College, music fans have plenty of reasons to keep their coats handy for a night out.
Symphoria. The reformed Syracuse Symphony Orchestra blends music styles, formats and venues, apparent in their colorful fall schedule. “Holiday Magic,” for instance, features young local vocalists Nick Ziobro and Julia Goodwin paired with the Syracuse Pops Chorus and local dancers for a yuletide show on Friday, Dec. 19, at the Mulroy Civic Center’s Crouse-Hinds Concert Theater. Ziobro and Goodwin performed in June at the M&T Syracuse Jazz Festival. “Sweet Encounters: Music & Art” will combine guitarist Ken Meyer performing Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, “Adagietto” and Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade,” with the visual art of the Everson Museum, where the concert will take place on Saturday, Feb. 14. 299-5598, experiencesymphoria.org.
Legends of Jazz Series. Dr. Frank Malfitano has booked a quartet of noted acts to perform at Onondaga Community College’s Storer Auditorium as part of the Arts Across Campus initiative. There will be two performances for each Friday date, at 4:30 and 7 p.m.: Chick Corea and the Vigil (Sept. 19), the Heath Brothers (Oct. 31), Cecile McLorin Salvant (Feb. 27) and the Rebirth Brass Band (March 27).

Tommy Emmanuel. The virtuosic Australian guitar player will be joined by the locally based and internationally known guitar duo of Loren Barrigar and Mark Mazengarb on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m., at the Crouse-Hinds Theater. “Performing with him is quite amazing,” says Barrigar, who has shared stages with Emmanuel more than a dozen times. “He is so powerful, but has a way of letting each of us shine through. People should come to this show because I know they will see one of the greatest guitarists ever and perhaps one of the greatest entertainers. This man has influenced a generation of guitarists worldwide. I have heard from people that going to one of his shows is a life-changing experience. I know he changed mine.” lorenandmark.com.
Here are a few highlights of the fall 2014 season
