The Oak Ridge Civic Music Association’s season starts September 26 with a concert that features music by Handel and Haydn.
“If variety really is the spice of life, music lovers will especially enjoy the 71st season of the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association for 2015-2016 because music director Dan Allcott has planned a season of Baroque to Modern, American Salute to English Invasion, and more,” a press release said.
The opening concert will include Haydn’s Symphony No. 104 “London,” performed by the Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra. Then, Oak Ridge Chorus will join the symphony in singing Handel’s Coronation Anthem, “Zadok the Priest,” which will be directed by Seth Maples, the chorus conductor. The soloist for the evening, Wesley Baldwin, cello professor at the University of Tennessee, will perform Elgar’s beloved “Cello Concerto in A minor.”
The performance will start at 7:30 p.m. September 26 at the Oak Ridge High School Performing Arts Center.
In October, the Chamber Music Series commences with the Stiletto Brass Quintet at First United Methodist Church, Oak Ridge. Formed in 2010, the quintet features five women playing a variety of well-known compositions in addition to avant-garde pieces written by leading composers of our time. The music begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 17.
