October 27, 2012

William was the featured piano soloist during a performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, with the Tidewater Intergenerational Orchestra (TIO) of Williamsburg, Virginia.  The famous concerto also featured solo performances by professional musicians Tom Lindsay on the violin and Erich Graf on the flute.  Tom spent a professional career with the Dallas and New Jersey Symphony Orchestras and Erich is the former principal flutist of the Utah Symphony.  The concert featured other performances by the TIO Tykes and Tweens Orchestra with Dr. Alice Lindsay conducting and the TIO Choir with Ms. Loretta Roolf Atkinson conducting.  As the name implies, The Tidewater Intergenerational Orchestra features accomplished musicians of all ages.  William and the TIO will be performing the Bradenburg Concerto again on Sunday, November 4th at 3 pm, at St. Matthew’s Church, in Virginia Beach, VA.  The TIO spring concert is scheduled for performances on April 20th and 28th (program to be determined).
