The Brockport Symphony Orchestra will present “Global Connections” on Sunday, November 6, 4 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street, Brockport. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this concert will feature violin soloist Eloise Fadial and composer-in-residence Emmanuel Sikora.
Fadial, the orchestra’s concertmaster, studied with Grammy-nominated violinist Dr. John Fadial and the distinguished Dr. Beth Vanderborgh at the University of Wyoming. She performed with the University of Wyoming Symphony and Chamber Orchestras and was the recipient of the prestigious McElhone Scholarship. She is currently completing her graduate studies at the University of Rochester.
Sikora is an internationally-acclaimed composer and pianist with recent performances by the Ukrainian Festival Orchestra, Lviv Philharmonic, and the Syracuse University Symphony Orchestra. The Washington Post has described his music as “an appealing melding of the romantic and the contemporary, unselfconscious and unpretentious.”
Admission is free, and donations will be gratefully accepted.
This project is made possible with support from the Village of Brockport and funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.
