Senior Suburban Orchestra to host annual Family & Friends Concert May 6
The Senior Suburban Orchestra, now in its 23rd season, invites you to a Family and Friends Concert on Saturday, May 6.
The concert begins at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary of St. Paul's United Church of Christ, 5739 Dunham Road in Downers Grove.
During this concert, the Senior Suburban Orchestra will feature orchestral music from operas of French composer Georges Bizet and Italian composers Pietro Mascagni and Gioachino Rossini.
The program also includes two medleys.
The first one, selections from "Pirates of the Caribbean," commemorates the 20th anniversary of the film and the second piece, "Citysongs," a sing-along, is a collection of well-known songs about cities in the U.S.
The orchestra's conductor, Dan Pasquale D'Andrea, has been with the orchestra since its beginning in 2000, and has helped develop the orchestra into an award-winning 40-plus piece performing organization, which presents up to 15 concerts per year for venues such as retirement homes, schools, and community organizations.
Although there is no charge for the concert, donations are appreciated.
