BSO holds luncheon Nov. 11 in Crossville


The Crossville audience of the Bryan Symphony Orchestra can learn more about an unprecedented performance by the orchestra in collaboration with the Asheville Lyric Opera during a preview luncheon that begins at 11 a.m. Wednesday, at the Palace Theater.

BSO Music Director Dan Allcott will lead a discussion about the upcoming performance of Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro,” a reprise of a production staged last month in Asheville, NC, with an ensemble case of nine singers.

Cost for the preview luncheon is $10 at the door, and reservations can be made by calling 484-6133 by Monday.

The performance begins at 3 p.m. Nov. 15 in Wattenbarger Auditorium, the concert hall of the Bryan Fine Arts Building on the Tennessee Tech University campus in Cookeville. Call the Bryan Symphony Orchestra Association office at (931) 525-2633 for ticket availability. Tickets are $28 for adults, $24 for seniors 65 and up, and $8 for students.

The Bryan Symphony Orchestra, a member of the League of American Orchestras, is the only professional symphony in a rural area of Tennessee. The Nov. 15 performance is sponsored by Albert and Rosemary Ponte and Angelo and Jennette Volpe of Cookeville.
