WV Symphony to kick-off new concert series Saturday in Charleston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CHARLESTON, W.Va. \u2013The West Virginia Symphony will join local bands this Saturday in Charleston to help kick off their new series, Listen Where You Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symphony\u2019s Marketing Director, Amanda McDonald, and Music Director Maurice Cohn were on 580 Live with Dave Allen earlier this week to talk about the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald said the new series is a part of their ZMM Architects and Engineers Pop Series. She added that the symphony is teaming up with local bands and artists, including The Company Stores, the John Inghram Band, Shelem, and more, for a celebration of the best music in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald said this is a great way to kick off the series because of the variety of bands it brings together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a really great way to kick-off this fun series, which incorporates a lot of things that you don\u2019t traditionally think about when you think of classical music, things like Santa Claus for our Sounds of the Seasons concert, and we have a magician come on at the second half of the season as well too, so things that are fun, and we\u2019re really kicking it off with some amazing tributes to local music,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald said Matt Jackfert, a member of The Company Stores and a composer, prepared all the charts for the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said it took nearly a year to ensure everything was ready for Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo get all of these charts together so the orchestra and these bands can really combine for what\u2019s probably going to be once in a lifetime moment onstage with the symphony at the Clay Center so it\u2019s going to be a not to miss concert,\u201d McDonald said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Cohn said it took many rehearsals to ensure both the bands and the symphony were ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been working with Matt Jackfert for almost a year now to basically create custom versions of all of this music so we can all play it together, so that has really been a big project and he\u2019s done an amazing job with that and so that goes a lot way towards sort of literally making sure we\u2019re on the same page,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will take place at the Clay Center in Charleston from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cohn said it\u2019s a privilege to perform in a venue specifically built for a symphony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo get to have a home where you know we\u2019re in a hall that is built for an orchestra, that sounds like it\u2019s built for an orchestra that has the acoustics of an orchestra, even the little things it has the backstage set-up like an orchestra you know all of those things make a difference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets costs $19 and can be purchased at wvsymphony.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald encourages everyone to come out, not just for this event, but for future ones as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake sure you are tuning in to the symphony for everything we\u2019ve got going on, not only this upcoming Saturday but for the rest of the season, we\u2019ve got some amazing symphonic and classical music concert, we\u2019ve got some amazing pops concerts coming up, some collaboration with the ballet which we also love too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
