HAMMOND – The Southeastern Symphony Orchestra will present its final fall concert
in Pottle Music Auditorium Nov. 28. Titled “A Celebration of Talent,” the free concert
is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. and features the winners of the Community Music School Concerto
Competition as soloists. Violin Professor and Orchestra Director Victor Correa-Cruz
will serve as conductor.
CMS members performing solos in the concert are Emma Cecchini of Denham Springs,
Anna Johnson of Hammond, Kelsey Jones of Albany, Alana Saenz and Brennan Saenz of
Mandeville.
“We have the joy of introducing our youngest soloists, a talented group of violinists
who are being trained at the Southeastern Community Music School. This will be a major
challenge in their developing careers, as well as a valuable experience that will
bring them artistic and professional growth,” Correa-Cruz said. “This is the beginning
of what is intended to be a long-lasting collaboration between our pre-college program
and the Southeastern Symphony Orchestra.”
Correa-Cruz said the symphony will perform pieces by Vivaldi, Kuchler, Mozart
and Grieg in a wide selection of music, covering a musical repertoire from the Baroque
to the Romantic eras, and features international guest clarinetist Vanguel Tangarov.
“Dr. Tangarov is an associate professor of clarinet at Texas State University
and artistic director and founder of the annual international clarinet event ‘Texas
State Clarinet Fiesta,’” said Correa-Cruz. “He performs as principal clarinetist for
the Austin Opera, Mid-Texas Symphony, and Victoria Symphony orchestras. He has also
performed in more than 20 countries on four continents, winning positive critical
acclaim.”
The orchestra will present Kuchler’s Concertino for Violin in D Major Op. 15;
Vivaldi’s Concerto for two Violins in A Minor Op. 3, No. 8; Mozart’s Overture to “Le
Nozze di Figaro” K. 492 and Concerto for Clarinet in A Major K. 622; and Grieg’s “Peer
Gynt” Suites No. 1 and 2.
