FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FREE
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS, MUSIC EDUCATORS
FOR BAY-ATLANTIC SYMPHONY’S 2008 EDUCATION CONCERTS
Teachers and music educators should plan now and reserve
free tickets for the 2008 education concerts, sponsored by
the Bay-Atlantic Symphony.
The 2008 Gus Cilento, MD Education Concerts, will take place
on Friday, May 2, 2008, at 9:45 and 11:15 a.m., at the Frank
Guaracini, Jr. Performing Arts Center, Cumberland County
College, Sherman Avenue and College Drive, Vineland; and on
Tuesday, May 6, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m., at the
Richard Stockton College Performing Arts Center, Jimmie
Leeds Road, Galloway Township.
These 45-minute
concerts, entitled “How Music Talks: Sounds of the People,”
will show how music is more than beautiful, uplifting
sounds, but an expressive international language of emotion,
sense, imagery, and color.
To illustrate this, the Bay-Atlantic Symphony and Music
Director Jed Gaylin will present selections from Ludwig van
Beethoven’s stirring Symphony No. 6, “Pastoral”
and selections performed by virtuoso Erhu (Chinese Folk
Violin) soloist Jiebing Chen.
In Beethoven’s immortal Pastoral Symphony—his “Ode
to Nature”—one can hear 19th century folk music,
a fierce thunderstorm, as well as the beauty, peace, and
sense of thanksgiving that follows.
The unusual, haunting, mystical sounds of the Erhu will be
heard in Lee Pui Ming’s Awakenings. This work
is a picturesque 21st century depiction of a
world opening up.
The two works span two eras and cultures between which lies
a universe. Taken together, they share wonder, beauty
of sound, and a closeness to the countryside, its people and
drama. Tickets are free because of the generous donations
from Richard Stockton College, Cumberland County College,
the Frank & Lydia Bergen Foundation, and others. A limited
number of bus vouchers are available on a first come, first
served basis.
For more information, call the Bay-Atlantic Symphony at
(856) 451-1169.
