The Brockport Symphony Orchestra will present their “Swing Into Spring!” concert on Sunday, May 7, 4 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this family concert will feature the Bach Children’s Chorus, cello soloist Larry Fagen, and composer-in-residence Al Mathias.
The Bach Children’s Chorus, founded and directed by Karla Krogstad, is in residence at the Kanack School of Musical Artistry. Krogstad and Allentoff collaborated on new arrangements of popular favorites for this program.
Fagen, the orchestra’s principal cello, will perform as soloist in his arrangement of The Swan from The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. Mathias, the orchestra’s principal viola, will serve as guest conductor for his new work, Waiting.
Admission is free, and donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.
