The Bryan Symphony Orchestra will perform in memory of former Tech president, Angelo Volpe, Sunday November 12, at 3pm. Volpe was a board member, volunteer and, with his wife Dr. Jennette Volpe, a frequent sponsor of BSO concerts. Works by living American composers Joan Tower and Jennifer Higdon will be performed and soprano Shana Blake Hill will sing excerpts from two Verdi operas. Remarking on this, her 4th performance with the orchestra, Hill says, “It is an honor to sing on this concert in memory of such a great supporter of this fine orchestra. Each time I return to Cookeville I am reminded of the unique community spirit of the town, and the artistry and professionalism of the musicians you are privileged to have among you.”
Concert support comes from Nelson, Nancy, Sally & Gray Forrester, Dr. Tom & Mrs. Tricia Lawrence, Bob & Gail Luna, and Dr. Mary Pashley & Mr. EJ Mackie. For tickets and info contact the office at (931) 525-2633 or at contact@bryansymphony.org.
