Welcome to the 49th Concert Season of the Tri-County Symphonic Band.
Our 49th season begins on October 24th with a celebration of the 65th birthday of the United Nations and an appearance by New Bedford native and United States Navy Band trumpeter MUC Robert Couto.
On November 14th we will host a Special Benefit Concert featuring the New Black Eagle Jazz Band and the SouthCoast Jazz Orchestra. All of the proceeds for this concert will benefit the Tri-County Music Association's Scholarship Fund.
Once again, we offer our Annual Children's Christmas Concert, free of charge, at the Sippican School on December 12th with the help of the Sippican School Festival Choir under the direction of Patricia Richard and members of choirs from other schools across the region.
Leslie Neighbor Stroud will be the featured flute soloist for our February 6th concert. We will perform music by three prominent composers from the 19th and 20th centuries.
As spring awakens on March 20th, the Tri-County Symphonic Band will feature saxophonist Lynn Klock and a wonderful array of newer pieces for concert band.
Our 9th Annual Benefit Pops Concert will be held at Tabor Academy on June 19th, in a grand tent, and will highlight the music of Leroy Anderson and John Williams in the manner of the Boston Pops Orchestra.
The 2010-2011 concert season is a wonderfully colorful collection of music that is certain to excite the listeners who are seasoned followers as well as the new attendees. I hope you will share in the "Tri-County experience" that has thrilled audiences for over 49 years.
Sincerely,
Music Director
