The Anderson Community Band (ACB) is pleased to announce our Winter performance to be held on Sunday March 22nd, at 3:00 PM in the beautiful Anderson Center Theater; 7850 Five Mile Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45230. The performance is open to the public and free of charge. No tickets are necessary.
The ACB Winter Concert features some hot and fiery pieces and will be conducted by John Fecker. On the program will be the rarely performed Alzira Overture by Verdi, Conga del Fuego Nuevo by Arturo Marquez, and the Finale from the Ballet Suite Pineapple Poll by Arthur Sullivan which uses many themes from his most popular Operettas, the Mikado and HMS Pinnafore. Poll will be conducted by David Smith. Also on this program are Pentland Hills, a concert March featuring 3 Scottish Airs, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, a tone poem, American Treat, a medley of late fifties and sixties popular songs, and A Slavic Farewell, written in 1995 by a Russian composer, which is a “J.P. Sousa meets the Volga Boatman" style march.
As a special treat our featured soloist will be Maddie Wessel who is our lead saxophone player. She will be performing the Concerto for Alto Saxophone by Darren Jenkins. Maddie is an Anderson Township native and has played in the Anderson Community band since 2015. Her first appearance with the ACB was her featured solo as the senior scholarship winner in 2011. Maddie has also served as a guest conductor of the Anderson Community Band in the past. She is currently in her 11th year teaching middle school band at Creekside Middle School in Fairfield, Ohio, as well as working with the Fairfield High School marching band in the fall. Maddie earned her Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Miami University in Oxford and recently earned her Master of Arts in Music Education from Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. During Oktoberfest season, she enjoys performing with German Polka Band “Ein Stein.” Maddie currently resides in Mason, Ohio and enjoys traveling, baking, reading, spending time outside, trying new bars and restaurants, and crafting in her free time.
This is a concert that truly has something for everyone to enjoy so come in out of the cold and join us as we celebrate the start of Spring.
