Cellist Michael Stone appointed secretary

LW ORCHESTRA

The Leisure World Orchestra Board of Directors appointed Michael Stone as secretary. He replaces Beverly Emus, who served admirably for several years before recently resigning.

Stone is a member of Mutual 14 and plays the cello. The orchestra is growing after being shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It now has over 40 players. The orchestra is specifically looking for a drummer and brass players, especially trombones and french horns.

The LW Orchestra will play in concert at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 29 at Veterans Plaza as part of the fifth annual Life Options.

The band will play classical music, including Haydn’s Surprise Symphony, Hallelujah Chorus, Handel; “Sound of Music,” Richard Rogers; “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” Bach; and Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

The orchestra rehearses Tuesdays in the Amphitheater at 1 p.m. For more information, call Fred Reker at (615) 898-0669 or fredreker326@gmail.com.
