WILLOW SPRINGS, Mo. — The Southern Ozarks Youth Orchestra will present a concert entitled “Haydn Mozart at the Star” on Sunday, November 24 at 3 pm at the Star Theatre in Willow Springs.
Tickets will be available at the door and cost $7 for adults while children under 12 will be admitted free of charge.
The title “Haydn Mozart at the Star” is a play on the names of those two famous composers! The concert will feature chamber performances including “I’d Love to Tell the Story” and “Be Thou My Vison” both arranged by Catherine McMichael; trio performances written by Cremont and Pleyel; and a quartet playing Haydn. Full orchestra and the chamber orchestra will perform “Adagio by Albinoni” attributed to Tomaso Albinoni but actually composed by Remo Grazotto; Haydn’s “Finale from Symphony No. 12”; and Mozart’s “Symphony No. 23” and “Allegro Spiritoso.”
Members of the youth orchestra are from West Plains, Willow Springs, Pomona, Mountain Grove, Ava, and Mountain Home, Arkansas. The group is conducted by Heath Rhodes and the director is Danyal Sallee. Adult members, Carrie Jankowski, Brandy Taylor, and Karen Bates- Crouch also assist with the program.
The Southern Ozarks Youth Orchestra is sponsored by the Willow Springs Arts Council and fully funded through donations from local patrons. For more information on the Willow Springs Arts Council and its many activities, visit www.willowspringsartscouncil.org.
