Ellsworth, Maine - TEMPO (The Eastern Maine Pops Orchestra for Young Musicians) will showcase music that celebrates America’s history in their spring concert, “Our Founding Fathers: The Civil War and America” to be performed at The Grand on Saturday June 15th at 7pm.
From their live scoring of a timeless silent film classic to their participation in an event honoring our country’s veterans, TEMPO has made their home at The Grand since 2012, providing young musicians an opportunity to enhance their skills through performance. Made up of advanced players who hail from near and far parts of our state, TEMPO’s latest concert both honors America’s history and commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The orchestra (conducted by Rebecca Edmondson and Ethan Edmondson) will be playing everything from the American folk classic “Shenandoah” to instantly familiar works from “Gone With The Wind”, “The Last of the Mohicans” and Ken Burns “Civil War” documentary, to the conductor’s own composition “Chestnut Ridge.” There’s even an audience sing-a-long to a medley of well-known American tunes from throughout this country’s history.
Bring a friend and share the experience of TEMPO’s spring concert, “Our Founding Fathers: The Civil War and America,” at The Grand on Saturday June 15th at 7pm.
