WABI covers Bangor Symphony Orchestra concert featuring Silver
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the Bangor Symphony Orchestra’s Jan. 22 concert at the Collins Center for the Arts. Noreen Silver, instructor of cello and chamber music at the University of Maine, performed as a soloist during F.J. Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major. The program also included music by Bach and Handel. Concert organizers told WABI the concerts are a way to bring people together through music. “I think it really sends a great message to the community for people to see somebody that they know and love from the community on stage with us, and also somebody who’s taught so many students at the university, and in the community, as well. She’s just somebody that people will be excited to see, and also the orchestra has some pride in seeing one of their own members featured like this. So, it’s a win-win all around,” said Brian Hinrichs, executive director of the BSO.
