Welcome to the 48th Concert Season of the Tri-County Symphonic Band.
We begin the season in October with music from Russia. Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Glière lend their compositions to a program that climaxes with Mussorgsky's iconic "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Once again, we offer our Annual Children's Christmas Concert, free of charge, at the Sippican School in December with the help of the Sippican School Festival Choir under the direction of Patricia Richard.
Bonnie Denton will be the featured euphonium soloist for our February concert. We will perform music by three prominent composers of modern concert band repertoire on that program.
The SouthCoast is home to many talented musicians and the March concert will feature works by four composers from the region. The spotlight will then focus on Marion's own seventeen-year-old piano sensation, Erik Geil as he performs Rachmaninoff's "Second Piano Concerto in C Minor"
Our 8th Annual Benefit Pops Concert will be held at Tabor Academy, in a grand tent, on Fathers' Day (June 20, 2010) and will be entitled Broadway "Idol" for fathers. This performance will be the culmination of the "idol" competition that is open to all fathers in the Tri-County area.
The 2009-2010 concert season is an eclectic blend of music that is certain to take everyone on a wonderful musical journey as the Tri-County tradition continues.
Sincerely,
Music Director
