Carmen and Company: A Side-by-Side Celebration!

We are delighted to invite you to our next Clinton Symphony concert, on Saturday, May 30, at 7:00 p.m. at the Clinton Performing Arts Complex. This exciting program celebrates beloved orchestral works, rich cultural traditions, and the power of mentorship through music.

The Program:

Capriccio Brillante on the “Jota Aragonesa” – Mikhail Glinka
Andante Festivo – J. Sibelius
Waltz No. 2 from Jazz Suite – D. Shostakovich
Carmen Suite No. 1 and No. 2 – G. Bizet

Side-by-Side concert

This concert features side-by-side performance, which involves young emerging musicians, local high school string students, performing the same music shoulder to shoulder with seasoned professional players in the Clinton Symphony. This works to promote mentorship and community engagement. Students feel inspired by being able to perform on stage with their mentors, networking, and creating lifelong relationships. Professionals get to experience the lively energy of young musicians along with the dynamic and spontaneous energy they bring to a concert. Please join us to encourage the youth of our community and take in what will be a magnificent performance.

This program features Edward Elgar’s magnificent piece, The Enigma Variations, as part of our farewell performance for long-time Music Director Erik Kibelsbeck. The program also includes music by Emilie Meyer and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
