Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra concert with lyric soprano Beatrice Gilbert
For the fifth year in a row, the Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra will perform at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on Sunday, May 5 (details below). This year we will be featuring lyric soprano Beatrice Gilbert. Ms. Gilbert is celebrating her 25th year singing with the BMO, and we will accompany her as she sings some of her favorite opera arias, Broadway tunes, tunes from popular movies and more. Ms. Gilbert will also be joined by pianist John Massa for several selections.
Outgoing BMO music director Kristin Turner and current music director Mark Linkins will share the conducting duties at this concert, which will be Dr. Turner's last appearance with the BMO.
Aside from accompanying Ms. Gilbert, the orchestra will play several instrumental pieces, starting with a march composed by the orchestra's founder, Conrad Gebelein. This concert will be performed in honor of Mr. Gebelein. As an added attraction, we are thrilled to announce that Mr. Gebelein's grandson, Wayne Gebelein, will join us, and he will perform a solo on guitar of one of his grandfather's compositions. Furthermore, some of our very talented youngest members will perform a movement from the Bach Double Violin Concerto - sure to be another real treat.
Please come if you can! The concert is free (a freewill offering will be taken).
