'Bach's Lunch' at Noon Wednesday
The Southern Tier Symphony Chamber Strings, under the direction of music director John Whitney, will present a performance of “Bach’s Lunch” on Wednesday, March 31st, at First Presbyterian Church, 54 East Corydon St., at noon.
Patrons may believe the title of the concert has something to do with food, but it is simply a musical presentation, lasting under one hour, to nourish the soul. This concert is a part of the anniversary celebration of Johann Sebastian Bach's 325th birthday, which occurred last week. Underwriting support sponsors for the concert are Barbara and Mac Sue and Stephen P. Grillo.
The ensemble consists of twelve string players and pianist Nancy Hefti with the addition of two local sopranos. Annamaria Myers, of Port Allegany, PA graduated from Mansfield University in 1981 and was a finalist for the Schorr Prize in Voice at the Croswell Opera House in Adrian, Michigan. She has made numerous solo appearances in the twin tiers region including the mother in “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” and Anna in “The King and I.” She currently teaches music in the Port Allegany Schools.
Alexa Campbell is a student at Portville High School and started performing at age seven as Gretl on the Broadway National Tour of “The Sound of Music” with Brady Bunch star Berry Williams. She has also toured the US, Canada and the United Kingdom in other shows, including Disney’s “Bear in the Big Blue House” and “Dragon Tales Live.”
Locally, Alexa has performed with Chautauqua Opera, Olean Community Theatre and at the Lancaster Opera House. Most recently, she played the role of Belle in the OCT production of “Beauty and the Beast.”
Concert selections will include the Second Mannheim Symphony in A Major by Johann Stamitz (1717 – 1757), Prelude to “The Deluge” Opus 45 by Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921), and Arioso by J. S. Bach (1685-1750), to name a few.
The concert is free and open to the public. Please feel free to bring a brown bag lunch. A free will collection will be taken.
