NaBSco presenting 4th season concert

Posted

The Narragansett Bay Symphony Community Orchestra will present the fourth concert of their second season, “Beethoven Triple Concerto” on Sunday, March 6 at 3 p.m.  The concert will be held in Sapinsley Hall of the Nazarian Center at Rhode Island College, 600 Mt. Pleasant Avenue, Providence.

Featured on the program is the well loved, triumphant  “Prelude to Act III” of Lohengrin by Richard Wagner, the impressionistic  “Nocturnes” by Claude Debussy, and the delightful  “Triple Concerto in C Major” by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Performing with the Narragansett Bay Symphony for the “Triple Concerto in C Major” will be Judith Lynn  Stillman, piano, Charles Dimmick, violin, and Aristedes Rivas, violoncello. Stillman has been hailed by the press as “a poetess of the piano.”  She is the winner of numerous piano competitions and is the recipient of the First Pell Award in the Arts.  She currently is the “Artist-in-Residence” and a professor of Music at Rhode Island College.

Dimmick has been praised by the Boston Globe for his “cool clarity of expression.” He enjoys a varied and distinguished career as concertmaster, soloist and chamber musician. Currently, he is the concertmaster for the Rhode Island Philharmonic and for the Portland Maine Symphony Orchestra.

Rivas, a native of Venezuela, had his solo debut at age 14. He has acted as principal cello and soloist for the Waco Symphony Orchestra and has collaborated with Jazz legend Paquito DiRivera. Currently, Rivas is the principal cello of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra of Indian Hill in Massachusetts.

The Narragansett Bay Symphony Community Orchestra is lead by newly-appointed music director Benjamin Vickers. NaBSco is celebrating their 10th anniversary as an orchestra and the second season as The Narragansett Bay Symphony Community Orchestra (NaBSco), that is of the community and for the community.
