Township April has been a busy month for the
Macomb Symphony Orchestra. After our successful March concert, we prepared
and presented five performances for young people. Our Youth Education
Concerts were held April 2, 2008 at the Macomb Center for the Performing
Arts, where we hosted over 2,000 students from over 30 different educational
institutions, both public and private, and on April 8, 2008 at Rochester's
Stoney Creek High School where we played for almost 1000 5th graders from
all 13 Rochester District Elementary schools. Our special guest performer
for all of these concerts was Emily Hudock, the 14 year old violin virtuoso,
who is taking the area by storm. She performed the first movement from
Tchaikovski's Violin Concerto to some very appreciative and awestruck
youngsters.
Now we are
preparing for our Season Finale.
On Friday, May 9,
2008, at 8:00 p.m., at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in Clinton
Township, Michigan, we will present Memorable Movie Musings", a concert that
celebrates movie classics, such as music from Max Steiner's score for
Casablanca"... the opening fanfare from 2001: A Space Odyssey"...
Intermezzo" from the The Godfather"... a portion of John Williams's score
for E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial"... and Nimrod" (Enigma Variations),
recently featured in Elizabeth".
Piano virtuoso
Leszek Bartkiewicz joins the orchestra for a movement from Mozart's Piano
Concerto #21, the theme to the 1950 film Elvira Madigan." A graduate of the
National Music Conservatory in Krakow, Bartkiewicz's award-winning style has
complemented concerts in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Belgium, Japan and
various cities around the United States.
We hope you can
join us for this event.
And don't
forget us on Fathers' Day!
On Sunday June 15,
2008 at 6:00 p.m. we will play a free concert at the Eastwood Beach of the
Stony Creek Metropark. You can enjoy a wonderful sunset to the music of the
Macomb Symphony for a memorable end to father's special day.
