26th Annual Giralda Lawn Concert - Sunday, June 28, 2009
Sunday, June 28, 2009
26th Annual Giralda Lawn Concert
This will mark the 26th season that the Arts Council heralds the start of summer by presenting the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra on the beautiful lawns of Giralda Farms Corporate Park (the former Geraldine R. Dodge estate).
Conductor Jeffrey Grogan will lead the orchestra in a program whose first half will feature members of Opera New Jersey performing the famous Overture, "Habanera," and "Toreador Song" from Bizet's ever-popular opera, Carmen, as well as "Three Little Maids from School" from Gilbert & Sullivan's beloved operetta, The Mikado, "La ci darem la mano" and Fin Ch'han dal vino" from Mozart's classic Don Giovanni, "Regnava nel silenzio" from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Rossini's rousing William Tell Overture (Allegro). The singers will include Anne-Carolyn Bird (soprano), Kemper Florin (soprano), Cristina Nassif (soprano), Lisette Oropesa (soprano), Ellen Putney-Moore (mezzo-soprano) and Matthew Burns (bass-baritone). After an intermission, the program will continue with Beckel’s "Liberty for All," Lowden’s "Armed Forces Salute," Bernstein/Mason’s "Selections from West Side Story," Ellington/Norris’s "Ellington Medley" and Ward/Dragon’s "America the Beautiful."
EXCITING NEW ADDITIONS:
an exhibit of art by the Blackwell Street Artists group
activities for kids (including a craft project) provided by the Community Children's Museum
a special prize - sponsored by Acorn Hall's Victorian Weekend - for the top Victorian-themed picnic
Roving picnic judges will select outstanding picnics (on any theme) -- awarding generous prizes (theatre tickets, dinners for two, concert tickets, gift certificates, etc.) to the winners. Further excitement accompanies the 50/50 raffle at which the lucky winner receives a generous cash award (the remaining 50% goes to support the Arts Council’s scholarship program). Bring your friends, families, classmates, neighbors or come by yourself to help welcome summer with the Arts Council.
