Darke County Center for the Arts will present the Toledo Symphony Orchestra in concert at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, May 11; the final concert of DCCA’s 2022-2023 Artists Series season, the performance begins at 7 p.m. The orchestra will be conducted by Emmy-nominated Music Director Alain Trudel, an accomplished composer, who is also one of the world’s most renowned trombonists.
According to DCCA Artistic Director David Warner, the conductor has created a unique and listenable program that includes beloved familiar compositions by Brahms, Grieg, Bizet, and Bernstein, plus much more. “The maestro promises a performance that will be enjoyed by a broad range of listeners who simply enjoy good music,” Mr. Warner stated.
