Jan. 21: new time for back-to-back orchestra concerts

The Chelsea School District will host an exhilarating back-to-back concert with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra (A2SO) and the Chelsea High School (CHS) music department on Jan. 21 at 3 p.m. in the CHS auditorium, 740 North Freer Road.

The program will begin with full orchestral music performances by the  Chelsea High School Orchestras, including wind and percussion players from the CHS band program. Following an intermission, the A2SO will take the stage under the direction of Maestro Arie Lipsky. Featured soloist will be acclaimed violinist Aaron Berofsky.

In preparation for this second annual concert, principal musicians from A2SO mentored instrument sectionals. Additionally, Lipsky provided CHS with two clinics and he will conduct one piece with each high school orchestra during the concert.

This educational performance opportunity is supported through grants from the Ann Arbor Symphony, the Chelsea Music Boosters, the Chelsea Education Foundation, and “… the incredible generosity of Chelsea’s own Ann and Mike Feeney,” said Jed Fritzemeier, CHS orchestra director.

Tickets: $12/adults, $8/seniors and students; reserved seats; tickets available in advance at Chelsea Pharmacy, 1125 South Main St., or at the door.
