Allisan Barrett, WHS senior, to play with Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra

 

The musical heritage of the Josh and Carrie Barrett family will be on proud display during the final concert of the 2017-18 Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra season on May 19 at Calvary Community Church in Williams Bay starting at 7:30 p.m.

Allisan Barrett, a senior at Whitewater High School, will play horn with the LGSO in the first (Allegro) movement of Horn Concerto No. 1 by Richard Strauss.

Allisan is the winner of the 2017 Young Artist Concerto Competition sponsored by the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra and the recipient of the Rotary Club of Lake Geneva Neal Heffenan Art Scholarship.

The concert will also showcase the musical talents of Josh Barrett, a long-time member of the LGSO, playing trumpet, and Nathan, a 2015 graduate of Whitewater High School, playing trombone.

Tickets for the May 19 concert will be available for purchase before the concert begins.

The concert will also include performances of Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.

The LGSO has performed regularly in Walworth County since 2001. The all-volunteer musicians reside throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

A chamber music concert series is also sponsored by the LGSO.
