2011 – Second Gratitude Concert

Aria Cheregosha, violist, joins Harmonia members Colin Laursen, Noah Balamucki, Michael Jon Bennett, and Julie Harris for the final rehearsal of Noah's piece "Stalked", just an hour before the concert!

We presented our Second Annual Gratitude Concert on Saturday, November 12, 2011. What a wonderful time we all had! Incredible new music, superb composers, the best performers in the area, scrumptious food, and a gathering afterward that lasted well into the night.

 

Of the 14 pieces on the program, 8 were premieres, 3 had premiered two weeks before, as NCMTA winners, and 3 were premiered at previous concerts and were back by popular demand! 

Our composers included Noah Balamucki, Sabrina Thompson, Beatrice Crist, aBe Lange, Susie Kim Park, Stephanie Wang, Grace Gollmar, Charles Higgins, Alex van Gils, michael jon bennett, Samantha Strowd, and Gabriel Crist. 

Composer Michael Jon Bennett takes a bow with his flutists following the premiere of "philosophies". From left to right, flutists are Elizabeth Pack, Philip Snyder, Kaitlyn Dunn, Amy O'Brien and Yuyi Li.

Our concerts, and the community banquets which follow each one, are wonderful opportunities for the young composers to get to know each other. Lifelong friendships are forged in these very special evenings!

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
