This Week's Concert
August 4, 2013
Note from the webmaster:  We update this web site at least once a week during our summer concert season.  Since the program for each Sunday concert is finalized at our rehearsal on Monday evening, we generally post the week's update sometime on Tuesday.  Unfortunately, if you are viewing this page on a summer Monday, what follows will undoubtedly be the information for YESTERDAY'S concert.
For those specifically SEEKING web pages from past concerts, our recent concert archives are now available online.

Marcia Korb and Scott Teater
Though it seems amazing that the summer has flown by so quickly, this Sunday’s concert will mark the season’s finale.  Long-time members of our audience know that our final concert of the season is typically a “round-robin” concert with most or all of our conductors participating.  But this year, for the first time in many years we had not one but two rain outs and we are using our final concert as an opportunity to give those conductors their due.  As one of the rained out concerts was a shared event, we will have three conductors: retired Burlington band director Marcia Korb, Holy Trinity choir director Scott Teater, and New London band director Arnie Anderson.   More complete (though by no means extensive) biographical information about the three can be found in the “recent concert archives” section of this website where the original preview of their concerts is listed.
Arnie’s selections are:  The Great Locomotive Chase by Robert W. Smith; Funiculi Funicula by Luigi Denza arranged by Alfred Reed; and By Loch and Mountain by Robert W. Smith.
