Shreveport Summer Music Festival June '09

The weather is warm and it's time for the Shreveport Summer Music Festival, a 33 year summer tradition. First concert will be at Church of the Holy Cross, Episcopal 875 Cotton St., downtown Shreveport, Sunday June 7 @ 3:00 PM. Maestro Sidney Harth returns. The soloists will be Dann Cloakwell, Tenor, and Tom Hundemer, Hornist. Leonard Kacenjar is Artistic Director. The concert is free to the public.

Three upcoming Festival concerts are as follows:

• 6 to 8 p.m. June 20: Brahmah performs in the Barnwell Center's Hot Jazz on the Red series.

• 1:30 p.m. July 11: Festival String Quartet performs at an ice cream social at The Glen Retirement Village.

• 2:30 p.m. Aug. 23: Eddy Kozak performs at The Waterford of Shreveport.

Sunday's concert will feature two Handel Concerti Grosso, Op 3, No. 4A and Opus 3, No 4. Then one of my favorites the Britten Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, Op 31.
After intermission will be "O... for the touch of a vanished hand...", a piece for Horn and Strings written by Hornist Tom Hundemer who also will be soloing on the Britten with tenor Dann Cloakwell. And finally, the Mozart Symphony No. 29 in A Major, K.201.
Included herein are some photos from the rehearsals for tomorrow's concert.
