I am quite excited about a new subscription series that we have begun for the first time this season. For the past five years, we have presented individual concerts, featuring a rock band, singers and the orchestra. The "madness" concerts have grown to be quite popular, sometimes selling as many as 2,000 tickets per show.
Last season we surveyed our audiences, asking if they would consider purchasing a subscription to the series. They overwhelming said that they would. So, we have developed a new Retro Series, featuring three concerts. We named it the Retro Series because our goal in each of the concerts is to take the listeners down memory lane. We have featured the music of the Beatles, Motown and the '70s. In addition to Motown, next season we are adding a One-Hit Wonders show and Countrymadness. In the One-Hit Wonders show we will explore groups that had one hit and then disappeared from the musical scene. Lest you think the concert will be a snoozer, visit www.onehitwondercentral.com and peruse their list of hits. The country show will feature what is know as classic country, focusing on songs that used orchestra on the recordings. We will do the music of Charlie Rich, Glen Campbell, Patsy Cline, and so many others.
The first year for the subscriptions is a critical one. Since this is the first season, all seats are open. Season ticket holders will get first chance at the best seats in the house. They will also be able to renew from year to year.
If you are interested in tickets, call the orchestra office at (270) 846-BGCO (2426).
