Under the baton of Maestro David Kirven, Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra (“OBCO“) will present AMERICAN SYMPHONIC MASTERPIECES on Saturday, May 27, 2017, at 7:30 PM at the Hylton Performing Arts Center. The audience is invited to celebrate Memorial Day weekend by enjoying some of the most moving and powerful works in the American repertoire, including Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue (Viscount Thurston, piano), Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and Copland’s Hoe-Down from Rodeo, Quiet City (Nick Nichols, trumpet; Claire Workinger, english horn), and Lincoln Portrait (Senator Jeremy McPike, narrator).

"This concert includes some of the most profound and distinctly American works ever written for orchestra and Vike, Nick, and Claire performing at the tops of their games,“ says OBCO Board President and Concertmistress, Sheyna Burt. “Add to that Senator McPike’s contribution as narrator and this promises to be a tremendous evening of music.“

General Admission Tickets are $20 (youth 17 and under are free) and can be purchased in person at the Hylton Center or online at hyltoncenter.org/calendar/938.
