Clay Aiken, symphony to play Meadowbrook
By Jeff Rapsis jrapsis@hippopress.com
Next weekend, the Nashua Symphony makes the trek up to the Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center in Gilford to join in a Clay Aiken concert on Wednesday, July 25.
While not part of the orchestra’s local schedule, such performances are ways for orchestras to provide a paying off-season gig for its members and possibly make a few bucks for the bottom line. Either way, it’s a feather in the Nashua Symphony’s cap to be traveling up to Meadowbrook. Tickets are $35 to $59; for more info, visit meadowbrook.net.
• Something to sing about: The annual “Summer Sings” program of the Nashua Symphony Chorus continues on Monday, July 23 at 7:30 p.m. with Diane Cushing leading a read-through of Haydn’s “Creation” oratorio.
The sessions, open to anyone, are held at Nashua’s Christian Science Church, 115 Concord St. For $7, you get a score to sing from, a conductor to lead you, and a pianist to play along as you sing through the evening’s masterpiece.
The rest of the schedule: Monday, Aug. 6, with Paul Madore leading Faure’s Requiem; Monday, Aug. 20 with Diane Cushing conducting Shaker Songs; and then on Monday, Aug. 27 another dose of Shaker Songs under Cushing to round things out.
