Darke County Center for the Arts
Toledo Symphony
Orchestra to perform Rodgers and Hammerstein
Darke County Center for the Arts will close their current Artists
Series season on Saturday, May 14, with a performance by Toledo
Symphony Orchestra at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville.
Guest vocalists will also appear, singing music from the golden age of
classic Broadway musicals by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
“FromOklahoma through The Sound of Music, Rodgers and Hammerstein
captured the hearts of generations of Americans,” said DCCA Artistic
Director Keith Rawlins. “The artistry of the musicians who make up the
Toledo Symphony Orchestra will delight and thrill our audience with
lush arrangements of their favorite songs,” Rawlins concluded. The
concert begins at 8 p.m.
Formed in 1943, Toledo Symphony Orchestra has grown from a core croup
of twenty-two part-time musicians to a regional orchestra that employs
nearly eighty professional musicians. TSO will be conducted by Sara
Jobin; Bridgette Gan, soprano, and Joshua Jeremiah, baritone, are the
vocalists who will interpret Rodgers and Hammerstein favorites from
Oklahoma, The King & I, The Sound of Music, Carousel, and more.
Jim and Enid Goubeaux, Greenville Federal, and Harry D. and Esther
Stephens Memorial are Spotlight Sponsors of the Toledo Symphony concert
Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state
tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and
cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives funding from
the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
