CELINA \u2013 The Grand Lake Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of James Huckemeyer, had worked very hard to prepare a wonderful Christmas program only to have the concert canceled due to the first major winter storm of the season.\u00a0The good news in this cancellation is that the program for next season\u2019s Christmas concert is now already set!<\/p>\n

The group is now working on the third concert of the 2010-2011 season.\u00a0 The winter concert will be held Sunday, February 27, at Wright State University-Lake Campus\u2019 Dicke Center in Celina.\u00a0 The concert begins at 3 p.m. and there will be no admission charged.<\/p>\n

The concert program will feature many classical selections that most in the audience will immediately recognize, as well as a few pop selections featuring music from the Beatles and the \u201cLord of The Rings\u201d movie trilogy.\u00a0There will also be selections performed by the Brass Ensemble.<\/p>\n

The GLSO is based in Celina and is comprised of musicians ranging in age from teenagers to \u201ckids\u201d in their 80s.\u00a0While many of the musicians are from the Mercer County area, other musicians travel to Celina for weekly rehearsals from all around the community, including Lima, Ottawa, and Van Wert, as well as Indiana.\u00a0These hard working musicians are not paid any compensation, but simply love the opportunity to play in a symphony orchestra and strive to be better musicians and provide music to the community.<\/p>\n

The GLSO is looking to fill open string instrument positions! Those interested in playing should bring their instruments to any rehearsal, which are held on Mondays, beginning at 7 p.m., at Grace Missionary Church in Celina.\u00a0Rehearsals start at 7 p.m. for strings and ensembles and 8 p.m. for full orchestra.<\/p>\n

After the winter concert, there is only one remaining concert in the 2010-2011 season.\u00a0This final concert of the season will be Sunday, May 1, at The Marsh Foundation Auditorium in Van Wert.\u00a0All concerts begin at 3 p.m. with free admission.<\/p>\n
