Local Montgomery County composer, Charlie Barnett, brings his rich background in jazz, film, and classical music to this colorful suite for string orchestra, The Fireman’s Carnival. Full of nostalgic Americana and inspired by the sights and sounds of a small-town summer celebration, the piece invites listeners to step into the world of a small-town summer carnival, complete with flickering lights, distant music, and the warm buzz of community celebration. The performance invites audiences to step into a musical world filled with energy, memory, and a touch of whimsy.
Additional musical selections will also be performed by composers Leroy Anderson (Plink, Plan, Plunk and Arietta), Alan Hovhaness (Celestial Fantasy, Op. 44), and Lou Harrison (Suite for Symphonic Strings).
