with The Cleveland Orchestra.



            The Solon Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Greg Bassett,
begins its second season with an exciting program of music written by
American composers including Gottschalk, Barber and Gould.  In addition to
“A Lincoln Portrait”, Mr. Marshall will sing Copland’s “Old American Songs”.
 Audiences will remember him from his triumphant performances as ‘Joe’ in
“Show Boat” and ‘Porgy’ in “Porgy and Bess” earlier this year.



            The SPO consists of talented musicians high school age to
seasoned senior citizens.  With the support of Gerald MacDougall, Director
of the Strings Program with Solon Schools and SPO’s assistant conductor, it
has developed into a cohesive ensemble that provides educational and
performing opportunities for those involved.



            Concert-goers are also invited to stay after the performance for
the “Meet the Artists” reception and the lighting and dedication of the new
History of Solon Sculpture at City Hall at 5:15 pm.  Mayor Kevin C. Patton
will do the honors.
