Celebrating its 15th anniversary season, the Brockport Symphony Orchestra will present their Summer Pops Concert on Sunday, June 22, 4 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street, Brockport. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this family program will feature vocal artist Shaya Greathouse and violin soloist Eloise Fadial.
Greathouse hails from Washington State and earned a Master of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music. She has appeared with Buffalo Opera Unlimited (Tisbe in La Cenerentola, Carmen in Carmen for a PBS special), Musica da Camera in New Jersey (Hansel in Hansel and Gretel), many Eastman concert series, the Rochester International Jazz Festival, and other regional music organizations. She also performs as a recitalist and with a trio locally and in the Manhattan/New Jersey area, and she has enjoyed venturing into performing classic country and jazz styles in recent years.
Fadial, the orchestra’s concertmaster, studied with Grammy-nominated violinist Dr. John Fadial and the distinguished Dr. Beth Vanderborgh at the University of Wyoming. Currently completing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester, she performs as concertmaster and violin soloist with the Eastman Summer Studio Orchestra and appears as a violinist and violist on the University of Rochester Chamber Music Series.
The program features Broadway and Hollywood favorites, folk music, and a special tribute to the Erie Canal Bicentennial and the Morgan-Manning House with Allentoff’s “The Erie Canal Comes to Brockport” for Violin and Orchestra.
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 the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.
