Anderson Community Theatre
The Anderson Community Band (ACB) is pleased to announce our Fall performance to be held on Sunday November 23rd, at 3:00 PM in the beautiful Anderson Center Theater.
The ACB Fall Concert, titled Flavours of Spain, features the music of Spain and will be conducted by John Fecker. The inspiration for this occurred when John and his wife, Margaret, rushed to the airport after our June performance for a tour of Spain, focusing on the Music and Art of this fascinating country. They had an amazing time which, in turn, inspired this amazing concert! Featured on the program will be Algemiz by Ferrer Ferran, El Relicario by Jose Padilla, and Children of Sanchez by Chuck Mangione.
Additionally, our performance will contain a virtuosic (and humorous) take on a polka featuring Rick Elliott called The Worried Drummer! Words can’t describe his performance, so come and experience it live! Rick Elliott is the Principal Percussionist with the Cincinnati Community Orchestra and Seven Hills Symphony, and regularly plays in the percussion sections of the Anderson Community Band and Butler Philharmonic Orchestra. He has played percussion or acted as Music Director in many pit orchestras for local community theatre productions. As an educator, Rick is the former Band and Percussion Director at the College of Mount St. Joseph. He has three arrangements of music for solo marimba that are published by Keyboard Percussion Publications. Rick is a graduate of Ohio University, earning Bachelors and Masters degrees in Percussion Performance and is a Sigma Alpha Iota Friend of the Arts.
Also on this program is the "screamer" march, From Tropic to Tropic, a high energy performance of Funiculi Funicula, and the exciting Selections from Wicked. This is a concert that truly has something for everyone to enjoy, so join us for Flavours of Spain. We will leave you hungry for more!
