Program:
Jessie Montgomery: Strum
William Grant Still: Ennanga for harp and orchestra (Charles Overton)
Debussy: Danses sacrée et profane (Charles Overton)
Mozart: Symphony No. 29

Music Director, Steven Lipsitt, who is widely recognized for his ability to combine precision and passion, intelligence, and invigoration, will conduct the BB&B Orchestra whose musicians are some of Boston area’s finest and most experienced freelance instrumentalists. A core group of the musicians has been playing together for many years, which gives the orchestra a deep rapport and an ability to focus on the substance of making music from the very beginning of the rehearsal process.

Equally at home in an orchestra or in a jazz club, it is the goal of Boston-based harpist Charles Overton regardless of the genre of music, to create a musical environment that is accessible, exciting and can resonate deeply with any audience. As a classical musician, he appears frequently with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and has performed with Boston-based ensembles the Walden Chamber Players, and Collage New Music, as well as at the Marlboro Music Festival. Charles, a musician, composer and educator currently serves on the faculty of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee.
