| History: |
|
| |
 The
Warminster Symphony Orchestra has had the privilege of providing
cultural enrichment for the residents of Bucks and Montgomery
counties since 1966. It is operated under the auspices of the
Warminster Symphony Society as a not for profit corporation under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Warminster Symphony Orchestra is comprised of approximately 65
dedicated and talented members who desire to share their love of
music. The orchestra presents three subscription concerts annually
in the 1900 seat William Tennent High School auditorium. Two or
three outdoor concerts are presented each summer in the Bucks and
Montgomery County area. As the Warminster Symphony Orchestra is a
home for musical arts within the community, the Society recognizes
its responsibility to cultivate a love of music within today’s
youth. A Family Concert, with repertoire for children between the
ages of five and eleven, and a Youth Soloist Competition comprise
our annual educational outreach endeavors. The Family Concert
introduces children to the orchestral experience and orchestral
etiquette. The Youth Soloist Competition offers young vocalists,
wind, or string musicians the opportunity to perform with a symphony
orchestra.
The musical excellence of the Warminster Symphony Orchestra reflects
the extraordinary leadership of its Music Director, Joseph Lovecchio.
Concert repertoire is of the highest quality. The Warminster
Symphony Orchestra has programmed works by noted, contemporary
composers from the Philadelphia area such as David Finko, Frank
Hunter, and Tina Davidson. During the last six years the orchestra
has collaborated with soloists of national and international
reputation such as tenor Louis Browne (Ireland), tenor Frank
Tenaglia, and pianist Clipper Erikson. Additionally, the concert
repertoire seeks to develop a global awareness and often mirrors the
cultural diversity of the communities it serves, as can be seen
through concerts titled Music with a Spanish Accent, A Night in
Italy, Night of Opera, Music from Ireland and the British Isles, and
Scandinavian Serenade. Myths and Monsters and A Space Odyssey
reflect repertoire designed to engage a youthful audience.
The mission of the Society and Orchestra remains two-fold: to
preserve the musical arts within our communities and to maintain an
affordable place for residents of all ages to be uplifted and
reconnected through the universal language of music.
