Lincoln Sudbury Civic Orchestra opens 51st season with “Symphonic Sunday”
On Sunday, January 7, 2024 at 3:00 PM, the Lincoln-Sudbury Civic Orchestra (LSCO), a volunteer community orchestra comprising high school students and adult community members, presents its first concert of its 51st season with “Symphonic Sunday” at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. The concert includes the iconic Overture to the Magic Flute opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Morceau de Concert concerto for French horn by Camille Saint-Saëns featuring acclaimed soloist Mauricio Martinez, and closes with the Symphony #2 in D major by Johannes Brahms.
Now in his second season, Alfonso Piacentini, a charismatic, young conductor and percussionist leads the all-volunteer community orchestra. Maestro Piacentini also serves under Benjamin Zander as an Assistant Conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and its youth orchestra. Managing Director William Nicholson said in a recent interview: “We so enjoy Maestro Piacentini on the podium. He brings great vitality to these Romantic classics, especially the Brahms. And it's such a delight to have horn soloist Mauricio Martinez join us for this concert. His tone and technique are a real joy to hear."
Boston-based French horn wunderkind Mauricio Martinez joins the orchestra as featured soloist for Saint-Saëns Morceau de Concert. Mr. Martinez began playing French horn in elementary school in his home town of Camaguey, Cuba. Having relocated with his family to Atlanta, GA, he joined the Talent Development Program under the mentorship of Brice Andrus, Principal Horn of the Atlanta Symphony. Mr. Martinez is currently a sophomore at New England Conservatory, studying with Eli Epstein. Mr. Martinez has already performed in many countries beyond the US and Cuba, including South Africa and Greece. He was a prize winner at the 2022 International Horn Competition of America, and regularly performs under Maestros Zander and Piacentini in the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
Admission is a suggested donation of $20 per adult. Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School is located at 390 Lincoln Rd in Sudbury. The concert will also be livestreamed on SudburyTV.
