After a year and a half of musical silence, the Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra is eager to begin its 59th Concert Season Sunday, Oct. 31.
The concert will feature brass specialists Jordan and Sara Summers, directors of instrumental music for Marshall Public Schools. The program will be held in the Harold L. Lickey Auditorium of Bueker Middle School in Marshall beginning at 2:30 p.m. Kevin Lines is conductor for the Marshall Philharmonic. As per the current Covid-19 guidelines of Marshall Public Schools, masks will be required.
Sara Summers is the director of bands for Marshall Public Schools. She will perform “Concert Etude,” by Alexander Goedicke. Her husband, Jordan Summers, is the director of orchestras and assistant band director for Marshall Public Schools. In contrast to Sara’s lively trumpet solo, Jordan has chosen a work by Italian composer and violinist, Antonio Capuzzi, “Andante,” edited by Philip Catelinet. Jordan will be playing euphonium.
In addition to a Verdi duet played by the Summers, Conductor Lines will acknowledge the Halloween holiday by opening the concert with an orchestral version of Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D minor.” Among other Halloween-type memories performed will be Gounod’s “Funeral March of a Marionette,” “Phantom of the Opera,” and the theme to the 1950s Alfred Hitchcock television series.
This admission-free concert is suitable for attendees of all ages.
Buddy Hannaford, retired Director of Instrumental Music for the Trenton R-9 School District, is a charter member of the French horn section.
