Cheshire Symphony Orchestra POPS Concerts

Come enjoy a night of American inspired music with the Cheshire Symphony Orchestra on Friday, May 10 at 7:30 pm at St. Peter's Church in Cheshire.
The Cheshire Symphony Orchestra is in its 38th season under the direction of Dr. Hilarie Clark Moore.

The concert program offers works by American composers who depict musically our country’s heritage. Composers Copland, Ungar, and Hayman portray the essence of American life and spirit in the American west in their music. Works by Mancini, Ellington, and Gershwin celebrate America’s rich tradition of jazz, television, and Hollywood. Leroy Anderson’s The Typewriter embraces the clunky office machinery of yesteryear. Marches have a long history in our culture. The Daughters of the American Revolution is dedicated to the DAR, an organization that promotes patriotism and historic preservation. I’m delighted to offer three sections from The Fishergirl. These songs draw from our history as well. A widowed Maine fisherman sings “My Beautiful Lily.” “Our Storybook” touches on the issues of immigration while in “The River’s Journey” a grandmother speaks about finding one’s path in life by recounting her escape from the cruelties during The Civil War.

St Peter's Church is located at 59 Main Street in Cheshire. Admission to the concert is $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, children 5 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For more information about the orchestra and how to join go to http://www.cheshiresymphony.org or you can find them on Facebook.
