The Vero Beach Choral Society will offer two performances of Mass in Blue on Saturday, April 29, and Sunday, April 30, both at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church at 520 Royal Palm Boulevard in Vero Beach. Admission is free; the suggested donation is $10. Due to the popularity of the group, whose last performance hosted over five-hundred audience members, for the first time ever the Choral Society will present two performances of their current repertoire. Artistic director and conductor for the Vero Beach Choral Society, Dr. Jacob Craig, is also the Director of Music and Arts at First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach. He said, “[Mass in Blue] provides a unique challenge to the group as it utilizes traditional jazz harmonies and mixed meter. Many choirs have not had the opportunity to understand or experience the techniques involved with singing in this style, and Will Todd has done a truly masterful job in creating an exciting work.” The full program for the entirely jazz-themed concert also includes I’ve Got Rhythm by George Gershwin, and Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley. | |

The Treasure Coast Symphony is the oldest community orchestra in the area and is celebrating 38 years on the Treasure Coast. The musicians come from many different backgrounds and professions including several teachers from Indian River and St. Lucie Counties as well as Indian River State College students.
This performance will include the premier of a flute solo written by Matthew Karram in memory of former flautist and guest conductor Joann Love Kinder, performed by her long-time friend and colleague Amy Clark with piano accompanist Ryan Kasten. St. John of the Cross cantor, Beth Shestak, will be featured singing Schubert's Ave Maria. Beth has directed several area musicals including a recent production of Sister Act.

The first half includes several classical favorites including Hungarian Dance No. 5 and the Overture to the Poet and Peasant. Beethoven's first symphony will be the spotlight piece on the second half of the concert. Matthew Karram, the conductor, is a member of the St. John of the Cross choir, a lector, and the Associate Band Director at Lincoln Park Academy in Fort Pierce.
The mission of the Treasure Coast Symphony is to promote musical education and experience for volunteer musicians of all ages; for the enrichment of our musicians and our community. We have worked to fulfill this mission through concerts, scholarships, and outreach on the Treasure Coast for over 38 years.

Aaron & Friends - From Space Coast Symphony Orchestra | |
|
A composer's music only comes to life when it is written down and performed. From there, the road to success requires diligence, even for the most talented. Johann Sebastian Bach famously said, "Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction, that is my secret." Local audiences will have the chance to hear the music of three young composers and their teacher during a performance of Aaron & Friends at Eastminster Presbyterian Church, 106 N. Riverside Drive in Indialantic on Saturday, 7 p.m., and Trinity Episcopal Church, 2365 Pine Avenue in Vero Beach on Sunday, 3 p.m. On the program is chamber music penned by Space Coast Symphony Orchestra Conductor and Artistic Director Aaron Collins, along with work by students Lucas Cornejo, Guyfrancis Charleston, and Payton Brown. A chamber orchestra of 20+ musicians from the Space Coast Symphony and past guest artists will highlight Collins' early compositions, along with works from the talented trio of students. $30 tickets are available through the orchestra website www.SpaceCoastSymphony.org or at Marine Bank & Trust, beachside and mainland branches. Tickets at the door are $35. Concertgoers aged 18 and under or with a college ID are admitted free to every SCSO concert.
| |
Space Coast Symphony Orchestra Conductor and Artistic Director Aaron T. Collins, explains the impetus behind Aaron & Friends, which includes many of the musicians in the SCSO and guest artists featured in the past. "As you know, I love highlighting new music. Over the years, we have premiered so many brand new pieces. So this is doubly exciting, as we get to premiere new works, but these are coming from talented young, up-and-coming musicians."
"I wanted to put together a program that would highlight some of my outstanding young students and their incredible music," said Collins. "In addition, patrons have expressed great interest in hearing music I have written. Even though I stopped writing music when I began conducting, I thought it would be fun to dust off some works I wrote in high school and college," adding, "Overall, the concert will be intimate, yet exciting.

ABOUT THE SPACE COAST SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA— The SCSO is a lively and passionate Central Florida orchestra comprised of professional musicians, music educators and mentored amateurs of exceptional ability. The Orchestra was formed by Conductor and Artistic Director Aaron T. Collins with a two-fold mission: to provide mentoring and performance opportunities for Florida’s finest young musicians as well as to provide professional concerts at genuinely affordable prices. The ultimate goal of the organization is to help ensure the symphonic tradition for the enjoyment of future generations.
Aaron T. Collins is garnering recognition for his achievements. LEAD Brevard named the ambitious Collins one of their "4 under 40" Young Professionals, the youngest-ever recipient of the honor. Space Coast Business magazine listed him as one of Brevard's "100 Most Admired Businesspeople." Collins is a past recipient of the Richard A. Stark Award for cultural leadership from the Cultural Council of Indian River County. Through his personal involvement with more than a dozen performing arts groups, pioneering reciprocal ad program and social media cross promotions, Collins has gained a reputation for generosity; championing other arts organizations throughout Central Florida for the cultural enrichment of the community.
School-aged children 18 years and under are admitted free of charge, as are college students with a valid ID. In keeping with their mission, the symphony provides a unique Symphony for Everyone ticketing program, a "pay-what-you-can" option designed to provide substantially discounted admission to any Space Coast Symphony concert. Relying on a non-traditional orchestra model and a slim budget, the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra is one of only 19 U.S. orchestras to perform year-round. In addition to maintaining the Space Coast Symphony JAZZ Orchestra and Space Coast Symphony Wind Orchestra, the nonprofit organization also has a youth orchestra and provides numerous separate and free ensemble performances. More information about the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming concerts, ticket sales, venues, directions and sponsorship opportunities is available at SpaceCoastSymphony.org by calling toll free (855) 252-7276.

THE STUDENT COMPOSERS
Collins said, "I am very excited to highlight the music of three outstanding young composers that I have been working with over the past couple years. All three have different styles and viewpoints. I am incredibly humbled and astonished when I see this much potential. It's been an amazing and rewarding experience to see their music mature and evolve through our lessons. Further, to see these young men flourish into such wonderful human beings."

Payton Brown is a Composition Major at the Eastman School of Music, where he studies under David Liptak. Payton has written a multitude of compositions, including a piano solo, a string quartet, and a trio for clarinet, bassoon and piano, all of which were premiered at the Eastman School of Music; a full orchestra piece, which was premiered by the Melbourne Community Orchestra; a woodwind quintet, which was premiered by the Space Coast Symphony Youth Orchestra; and a concert band piece, which was premiered at Satellite High School. In addition to composition, Payton is an Oboe Performance major at the Eastman School of Music, where he studies under Richard Killmer. He is currently Rotating Principal Oboe with the Eastman School Symphony Orchestra and Eastman Wind Orchestra. Prior to attending Eastman, Payton resided in Satellite Beach, Florida, where he studied under Eric Ohlsson, Jamie Roberts, and Robert Sheena. During that time, he volunteered with the Melbourne Community Orchestra and the MusicMDs program, performing for critical care patients in hospitals to assist in their recovery. Payton has performed with the Odessa National Ballet Company in the professional productions of Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, and was a guest soloist with the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra, where he played Marcello’s Concerto in C Minor. Payton has participated in numerous festivals, including Maine Chamber Music Seminar, Miami Music Festival, Berlin Opera Academy, Hidden Valley Music Seminar English Horn Masterclass with Robert Walters, NAfME All-National Orchestra, Florida All-State Orchestra, Curtis Summerfest, FSU Chamber Winds Seminar, USF Festival of Winds, and the Stetson Double Reed Workshop, where he was awarded the National Bandmaster Association’s Award for Musicianship. He is also a mathematics major at the University of Rochester. Payton credits his success to the many great music teachers in Brevard County. Specifically, Mark Nelson was instrumental in his compositional development through early and consistent exposure to music theory. In addition, Carey Moorman was crucial in his development as a musician, serving as a role model through his rigorous attention to detail, as well as introducing Payton to chamber music.

Lucas Cornejo is a junior at Melbourne High School. His passion for music began at age 2 when he used to entertain his family by jamming out with Red Hot Chili peppers on his miniature guitar. Guitar lessons began in earnest when Lucas was 8, and a short time after, he began tinkering on a baby grand piano his mom had found on Facebook Marketplace. He would improvise for hours at a time, and discovered he could teach himself complex pieces by ear. During the Covid-19 quarantine, his mom, a classically trained violist, noticed the potential in his improvisations and bought him a music composition software, with which he would write many pieces. Under the guidance of Aaron Collins, three of Lucas’s pieces won him a spot at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute program for music composition during the summer of 2022. Lucas currently plays violin in the Melbourne High School orchestra program and has ambitions to attend Florida State University to major in music composition, with longer term goals of writing music for film. He draws inspiration from John Powell, Hans Zimmer, Frédéric Chopin, Gustav Holst, and J.S. Bach.

Guyfrancis Charleston is a freshman currently attending Melbourne High School. Charleston started playing violin in the sixth grade and loved playing it ever since. While in seventh grade, his orchestra director had her students do an assignment writing a short piece of music. He fell in love with composition immediately after. He loves to create music and is thrilled when listeners are moved by his music. Charleston spends much of his time listening to classical music, trying to gain inspiration from the masters. He is also an accomplished violinist, receiving several music awards in middle school and has been selected to perform with the All-County Orchestra the past two years. He also performs in the top orchestra at his school, something reserved for upperclassmen. Aside from being a great student with a 3.5 GPA, attending honors classes, he plays football, participates in throwing events in track & field, and is a part of the AFJROTC.

Event schedules can change, often at almost the last minute. Verify, double check, and then do it again before you head out the door. And when you do go out, take a mask. Without one, you risk being turned away.
