Euclid Symphony Orchestra Sparkles With Fanfare at their Spring Concert

The Euclid Symphony Orchestra takes center stage to celebrate their 50th Anniversary at the Shore Cultural Centre on Sunday, March 13, 2011 , 3:00p.m., in the auditorium.   Kevin Eppich, the orchestra’s conductor, has written a special piece entitled Celebration Fanfares.   “ In keeping with the idea of fanfares, it is a brightly energetic piece with moments provided for all the various sections of the orchestra to come to "center stage" as it were”, states Mr. Eppich.   “I've purposely tried to choose a program with a wide variety of pieces keeping with the theme of my piece, both familiar and maybe not so familiar, but all with a music evocative of the idea of celebrating and fanfares.   This also gives the listener a chance to hear all of the different orchestra's sections (strings, brass, winds, and percussion) a chance to shine.”  Eric T. Gratz will be a featured soloist for Camille Saint-Saens' "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso."  Tickets are $10 at the door or can be purchased in advance for $8 at Shore Centre’s office.

In addition to our Anniversary celebration, the Orchestra will be having a special anniversary dinner in May.   Mary Emser, President, says the excitement is building and she extends the following invitation: “There are several members of the Orchestra that have been with us since the orchestra’s inception.  We would like to encourage any past members to attend both the May concert and our Anniversary Dinner to help us celebrate this milestone".
