Symphony tea set for May 2 at Ulen
Boone County Symphony at Sunset Group Inc. will hold its annual Membership Tea and Symphony from 1 to 3 p.m. May 2 at Ulen Country Club in Lebanon.
The annual event supports the group’s programs, such as Discovery Concerts, Symphony in Color, the Instrument Petting Zoo, music awards for local high school seniors and the Symphony at Sunset concert featuring the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Pops Series.
“We have found that the tea is fun and educational,” the group’s vice president Sue Handlon said.
The Scott Chamber Players are this year’s special guest, composed of violinist Lisa Scott, violinist Beverly Scott, cellist Perry Scott and pianist and harpsichordist Sylvia Patterson-Scott, have performed more than 40 concerts at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Their performances have included works from the 16th through the 21st centuries, involving numerous combinations of both early and modern instruments. While focusing chiefly on the established classical repertoire, they have also performed works written in the last 20 years, and have released a CD featuring the compositions of Glenn Gass and Jan Swafford.
The three string players are members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, with which Patterson-Scott frequently appears as principal keyboardist.
Cost to attend the tea is $15. To RSVP, call (765) 482-0462 or send payment to Symphony at Sunset Group, P.O. Box 94, Lebanon, IN 46052 by April 24. This year’s Sunset concert is slated for June 28.
