By Ida Brown / senior staff writer, Meridian Star
“A series of events featured around special holidays of the year will highlight the Meridian Symphony Orchestra's 2008-2009 Subscription Season.” “All four subscription concerts will be presented in the MSU Riley Center, and all concerts will begin at 8 p.m., said Dr. Bob Hermetz, director of MSO choruses.” The article says a “Classical Thanksgiving” concert is scheduled for Nov. 15. “Adolphus Hailstork's new spiritual for orchestra, tenor solo, and chorus, 'I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes,' opens the program. Leroy Bynum, who previously performed in Meridian in 'Carmen,' returns as tenor soloist for this inspiring work.” Full Post
