Black Mountain Chorus of WalesSunday, January 27, 2008 - 3:00 pm |
For the last 150 years, Wales has built an international reputation as a country full of singers, spawning nearly 300 male choruses. Black Mountain Chorus of Wales brilliantly carries forth this choral tradition and is dedicated to two things – complementing the work of fellow Welsh choirs, and creating a rewarding environment for younger singers, so that they may achieve a vocal and performance level previously thought not possible for themselves. Singing both Welsh classics (in the Welsh language) and more contemporary popular selections, Black Mountain Chorus not only renders flawless traditional male choral sounds – they turn dreams into reality. |
French Chamber OrchestraTuesday, March 4, 2008 - 7:30 pm& student Encore* performance at 10:00 am  French Chamber Orchestra Website |
Each member of the incomparable French Chamber Orchestra couples their passion for making music with the energy, technique and attention to ensemble that true chamber music requires. The group performs regularly with well-known French soloists and conductors, including Maurice Andre, Guy Touvan, and Frederic Lodeon, in venues all across Europe, and made a very successful U.S. debut at the Lincoln Center in 2002. Acclaimed as one of France’s best chamber orchestras, the French Chamber Orchestra is equally at home with baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary music, and takes a particular pleasure in bringing forgotten masterpieces to life… a “must-see” for chamber enthusiasts. |
Harry James OrchestraSaturday, April 19, 2008 - 7:30 pm Harry James Orchestra Website |
The Harry James Orchestra continues the tradition of mellow arrangements and fine rhythmic playing that first made it famous. Currently under the direction of James’ lead trumpet virtuoso, Fred Radke, the orchestra continues to play worldwide in both major venues and special “invitation only” performances. Fred Radke’s style of playing is so similar to James’ that listeners often cannot discern the difference. With countless credits including The Glenn Miller Orchestra, The Lennon Sisters, Connie Stevens, The Pied Pipers (and the list goes on and on), Radke is one of the few remaining original luminaries keeping the panache of that brilliant era alive. |
