2020 Music on the Hill Pg 1 2020 Music on the Hill Pg 1 Joseph J. Solomon Mayor VISITWARWICKRI.COM 2020 Music on the Hill Pg 1 Welcome to Music on the Hill’s Music on the Hill’s 2020 festival off ers seven diff erent concerts throughout Rhode Island. From East Greenwich on June 1, we weave our way to Westerly, Cranston, Warwick, and back. Our return to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Music on the Hill’s birthplace, is a special treat. The church’s new climate control system provides comfort for performers and audience alike. Another special aspect of our St. Luke’s fi na- le is the return of trumpeter Roderick MacDonald (Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra) to his home state. In 1979-1980, my fi rst season as principal bassist in the Rhode Island Philhar- monic Senior Youth Orchestra, Rod was principal trumpet. Oboist Anne Marie Gabriele (Los Angeles Philharmonic) was principal oboe. I’m thrilled to be able to feature Anne and Rod in the same concert...40 years in the making!
