In their first collaboration in several years, the Bates College Orchestra and the Bowdoin College Orchestra will join forces to perform music by Beethoven, Rossini, Schumann and others in concerts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, in the Olin Arts Center Concert Hall at Bates College, 75 Russell St.; and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, in the Studzinski Recital Hall at Bowdoin College, South Campus Drive, Brunswick.<\/p>\n

Admission to both concerts is free, but tickets are required for the Bates performance. For more information about the Bates event, contact 207-786-6135 or this olinarts@bates.edu.<\/p>\n

Hiroya Miura, assistant professor of music, directs the Bates group. The Bowdoin College Orchestra is led by Roland Vazquez. Instead of offering a more standard program composed of a few long orchestral works, Miura and Vazquez decided their audiences would be more engaged by a selection of several shorter works representing a variety of styles.<\/p>\n

The program includes selections from Beethoven’s incidental music for the Goethe play “Egmont”; Rossini’s “William Tell” Overture; and Schumann’s Overture, Scherzo and Finale in E. Music by Glinka, Mozart and Bach is also featured.<\/p>\n

“This will be a great introduction for people who might feel overwhelmed by the idea of sitting through an hour of a symphony,” says Miura. “It’s an audience-friendly and fun program.” He adds, “there will be a little surprise with our version of the ‘William Tell Overture.'”<\/p>\n

The Bates orchestra comprises students, faculty and members of the local community. In order to accommodate the performers of both orchestras, each concert will feature different woodwind and brass sections.<\/p>\n
