We are extremely excited about this season. The whole organization has worked hard to produce a selection of exciting music that appeals to a wide range of audiences and tastes. As such, we are asking all our friends and patrons to help us spread the word about the upcoming concerts and the captivating works we are offering this season. We would appreciate it so much if you would do so. The 2018-2019 concert season features immortal, soul-stirring classics such as Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, as well as contemporary classics from the Broadway musicals The Wizard of Oz and Porgy and Bess to Jazz from Miles Davis. Our Family Discovery concert is based on music that inspires children of all ages. This season also brings our annual Veterans Day Concert and Christmas Spectacular. It has been our mission for the past 35 years to foster and encourage the appreciation of music through live concert performances and educational programs that are diverse, enriching and of the highest quality. However, reaching this goal would not be possible without the work of our Board and administrative colleagues, The Symphony Guild, our corporate sponsors, individual donors and most importantly you, the patron. Your enthusiasm and generosity are the reasons we are able to continue our fine tradition of classical, pops and educational performances for present and future generations. So as we like to say, please sit back, relax and enjoy the Music of your Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra. Jane E. McNulty President, Board of Directors MSO x 2018 - 2019 3 MSO program 2018-2019.qxp_MSO Program 9/11/19 4:04 PM Page 6 Murfreesboro Mayor Greeting Welcome! To the Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra community, As mayor of the City of Murfreesboro and supporter of music and cultural arts, I would like to congratulate the Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra A(MSO) for entertaining and enlightening our vibrant community. The benefits of music and the arts to Murfreesboro are immeasurable. Symphony music is uplifting, and it inspires the better part of nature. Murfreesboro has a long heritage of promoting music and exposing students in the City Schools and the broader community to the enriching benefits of the cultural arts. Through classical, pop, and youth education music programming, the Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra has maintained a tradition of providing an opportunity for talented artists to exercise their musical skills and for appreciative listeners to enjoy the beautiful melodies of their art. I as well as the entire City Council appreciate what the Symphony has contributed to enhancing cultural opportunities and deepening our City’s relationship with the sounds of music. Sincerely, Shane McFarland Mayor, City of Murfreesboro 4 MSO x 2018 - 2019 MSO program 2018-2019.qxp_MSO Program 9/11/19 4:04 PM Page 7 A Proud Supporter of Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra www.reliantrealty.com MSO x 2018 - 2019 5 MSO program 2018-2019.qxp_MSO Program 9/11/19 4:04 PM Page 8 The Musicians Violin I Piccolo Trombone Stefan Petrescu* Peggy Mather Brent Gerlach§ Sponsored by Fred Nelson Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Owens Oboe Susan Mullen** Grace Woodworth§ Bass Trombone Sponsored by Dr. & Mrs. Laurence Harvin Nicole McVey Greg Cox Teresa Hargrove David Johnson English Horn Tuba Charis Mackrell Michael Adduci Marcus Arnold§ Sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. Don Witherspoon Violin II Clarinet Cheri Drummond§ Greg Lawson§ Lisa Green Sponsored by Timpani Jennifer Warren Mr. James & Mrs. Judith Smythe Jeff Mulvihill§ Mira Burton Hara Hackett Percussion Viola Bass Clarinet Chris Nelsen§ Dan Nedelcu§ Rachel Grasso Mark Winn Sponsored by Sponsored by Jonathan Wright Mr. & Mrs. Matt Ward Mr. Keith Carlson & Sponsored by Linda Davis Mrs. Dorothy Gehrke Mrs. Ida Read Mary Alice Rouslin John Hearns Joshua Shepherd Bassoon Wilson Sharpe§ Harp Cello Sponsored by Sarah Crocker Elizabeth Browne Mrs. Ida Read Sponsored by Sponsored by Harold Skelton Ms. Carole Reynolds Mr. & Mrs. Dick Curl Syneva Colle * concertmaster Alice Lloyd Horn ** associate concertmaster § principal Nancy Los Cristian Codreanu§ Sponsored by Ms. Ellen Buckner Bass Kristen Bowers John Ownby§ Greg Danner Sponsored by Robyn Ryan The MSO Guild Ike Harris Trumpet Alan Suska§ Flute Sponsored by Deanna Little§ Mayor & Mrs. Ernest Burgess Sponsored by Dr. John & Mrs. Bobbie Duke Chris McCormick Donna Wehofer Shannon Stewart Sponsored by Sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. Ken Norberg Ms. Carole Reynolds 6 MSO x 2018 - 2019 MSO program 2018-2019.qxp_MSO Program 9/11/19 4:05 PM Page 9 EVANS TRUCK SALES Over 200 in Stock Bad Credit, No Credit, and Certainly Good Credit Welcome.
