Dear Bernadette,

 

Build Your Brain Power Through Active Music-Making!

The Claflin Hill Symphony is working closely with Apple Tree Arts to create more music-making opportunities for the people of Blackstone Valley.  Making music enhances language, math, and social skills.  It's also great fun!

So come join Paul Surapine, Etleva Hima and 30 other wonderful instrumental and voice teachers at Apple Tree Arts in making music this fall.  Classes begin the week of September 7.

Apple Tree Arts was founded twenty years ago in Grafton.  It offers early childhood music classes for children from birth to age 9, theater arts programs for children in grades 1 through 9, and many special community events.

We open our Tenth Anniversary season reprising two of our most memorable performances, and two of the most monumental symphonies ever written- Beethoven's Fifth, one of the most beloved works of the 19th century, and Shostakovich's Fifth - his homage to the triumphant human spirit over the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. 
(Five plus Five makes TEN!)

By special demand!  Audiences loved our Benefit Chamber concert last season, and the opportunity to hear the stellar CHSO musicians in more intimate and transparent ensembles.  Here are four gems that will allow our musicians' passion and brilliance toshine out into the winter night!  
 
Concert IV 
The Sacred and the Profane!

Mozart Requiem
Carl Orff Carmina Burana
 
Two of the greatest chorus-and-orchestra masterpieces of the entire literature!  Mozart's noble, majestic and elegiac Requiem paired with Orff's colorful bacchanal of student drinking songs and romance!  Carmina Burana was the first work ever performed by the CHSO in May, 2000 - the Mozart Requiem opened the first full season!  A musical feast with a one-two punch!
 
Family Concert II 
Play Nice with Others!
