This concert is a community-collaborative concert presenting over 120 local artists spanning 4 generations!
The performance includes two masterworks and audience favorites, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff and Organ Symphony by Saint Saens with featured soloists Amy Cross, Thomas Gunther, and Kelly Hale. The artists of the GLCO Orchestra, GLCO Chorus, the Little Traverse Choral Society led by Andre Strydom, and Great Lakes Children ’s Choir led by Amy Cross will join forces to create this special night at the historic John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View.
This is a unique opportunity to hear these masterpieces as they both require a large performance force and thus are not presented very often. Carmina Burana was last performed in our community over a decade ago and is fondly remembered by our residents to this day. The Saint Saens’ Organ Symphony is one of the rare works that incorporates the “King of the instruments” into the fabric of the score. The organ at the John M. Hall Auditorium is a majestic instrument by Pilcher with all the stops at the disposal to recreate the soundscape of the Organ Symphony masterfully performed by a virtuoso organist Kelly Hale.
The concert carries a true community spirit and will leave a long-lasting impact on audiences and artists alike. You don’t want to miss it! ~ Kathy Schroeder, GLCO Vice-President & Community Arts Supporter
