LCCC Civic Band and Civic Orchestra to Perform on November 18

 

The Lorain County Community College Civic Band and the LCCC Civic
Orchestra will each perform a concert on Sunday, November 18 at Stocker
Arts Center.

 

The LCCC Civic Band, under the direction of Mark Wainwright, will
perform at free concert at 3 p.m. The concert will be the first of the
band's 2012-2013 season. 

 

All of the selections in the Civic Band program are great works that
were originally composed for orchestra, and then transcribed for band.  

 

The LCCC Civic Orchestra, under the direction of Robert Beckstrom will
perform at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. performance are $8 for
adults, $7 for LCCC students, staff and seniors age 65 and older.
Discount tickets for groups of 15 or more are $6 and must be reserved in
advance. To purchase tickets, call (440) 366-4040 or visit
www.stockerartscenter.com.

 

The Civic Orchestra concert will feature two well-known and treasured
masterworks, "Brandenburg Concerto #1 in F BWV 1046," by Johann
Sebastian Bach, and "Symphony #40 in G minor, K. 550, G. 123," by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  The Bach work was the first of the famous six
Brandenburg concertos that he presented to Christian Ludwig in 1721.
Regal and intricate, this concerto has all of the elements that place
Bach's music on the very top shelf.  The often heard Mozart symphony,
his second to last, was composed in 1788 - originally intended for the
opening of a casino.  Profound and beautiful, this piece shows Mozart's
seldom-revealed dark side.

 

Beginning the concert will be a jewel from the American Neo-Classical
movement, Elliott Carter's "Elegy for String Orchestra," which was
composed in 1952. Carter passed away on November 5, 2012, at the age of
103.
