MPO Presents “Gems” – A Chamber Concert Bach, Jolivet, Weber & Rachmaninoff
The Marion Philharmonic Orchestra will present “Gems,” an intimate chamber concert, on Saturday, March 4, 2017, at 7:30 p.m. in the Butz Carruth Recital Hall on the campus of Taylor University. This concert is the third in the 2016-2017 “Masterpiece” series, the final season for MPO Music Director Maestro Alexander Platt. In his honor, the program will feature such favorites as Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major, Jolivet’s Concerto for Bassoon, Strings, Harp and Piano, and Weber’s Clarinet Quintet in B-flat. Also featured on the concert will be the High School Division winner of the 2016 MPO Concerto Aria Competition, Sage Hamm. He will perform Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 in C minor.
As Grant County’s community orchestra, the MPO partners with generous donors each year to provide rich musical and educational experiences. This past season, the MPO engaged more than 1700 young people in its programming through concert attendance, production assistance, performance opportunities and internships. Since it began in 1969, the orchestra has evolved from a group of local volunteer musicians into a professional symphony that features the finest musicians in the state, in the most beautiful venues in the county.
