Featuring JCSO Principal Cellist Meghan McGuire

Join us on October 29, 2011, Saturday at 8:00 PM for our Season Five Premiere “Masterworks!” featuring Haydn’s Concerto in C Major for Cello and Orchestra; Rosamunde Overture by Schubert and Mendelssohn’s Incidental Music for a Midsummer Night’s Dream.

JCSO Principal Cellist Meghan McGuire is soloist as Maestro J. Wayne Baughman leads in masterworks by three of classical music’s greatest composers.

This past Labor Day Weekend, the JCSO was delighted to be part of the Arts on the Creek Festival in Johns Creek. Several thousand turned out to experience music & art, vendors from all over the southeast, as well as local businesses display their wares to the greater Johns Creek community.  We were part of the Arts Alliance Artists Village comprised of six major artistic and cultural entities all based in Johns Creek.  Eight of our very talented musicians made quite an impact on the crowds as they performed throughout the weekend, wowing them with strings, reeds, harp & flute along with a very loud percussion blast!

The first inaugural Summer Strings 2011! Music Camp held by the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra concluded on Saturday, June 18th with great success! An outstanding final recital capped an exciting week of sectional, technique and orchestral instruction for 23 area students. Ranging from rising fourth through rising eleventh graders, these students worked to perfect their sound and quality of play, and then had master classes in fiddle instruction which they loved! Each day the students were able to enjoy a recital by invited musicians from the greater Atlanta Metro area and could then blow off some steam with fun recreational time. Each afternoon focused orchestra/ensemble play, and given the results of the final concert, it would appear as though they learned their lessons well. Instruction was provided by JCSO principal musicians, along with Concertmaster Adelaide Federici and Maestro J. Wayne Baughman who directed the orchestra. Special thanks to Mt. Pisgah Christian School who allowed us to rent their beautiful facilities, along with Bryan Hatmaker, Mt. Pisgah Director of Band and school liaison to the camp. Special thanks to the corporate sponsors RBC Bank, CIBAVISION, Gwinnett Medical Center Duluth, Optech Monett and Champps Americana who helped make this possible.
