From the Artistic Director and Conductor
Dear friends,
I would like to personally welcome you to attend the many musical offerings for our 2018 – 2019 season. We will present our well attended Christmas Concerts in St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Jim Thorpe, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Ringtown and St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Trexlertown. These concerts contain music from the Advent and Christmas seasons and help our audiences to anticipate this blessed time of year. We will also be celebrating our 35th Anniversary with a Gala Concert at St. Mark’s Episcopal in Jim Thorpe. One of the featured works for this concert will be the Festival Orchestra performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major,” BWV 1047. This concerto features four soloists with orchestra, consisting of trumpet, oboe, violin and flute. It has never been performed in our area and is one of Bach’s best loved works.
So come and be inspired; come and be enraptured; come and be transcended by this music that has withheld the test of time. We look forward to greeting you.
Blessings,
Randall Douglas Perry
Artistic director and Conductor
