A new music festival is launching in Middle Tennessee, where its creator, Gregory Wolynec, hopes to call more attention to the area, which is already famous as a destination for music tourists.
Wolynec is the Music Director of the Gateway Chamber Orchestra (GCO), and has planned an annual festival, called America's Haydn Festival, in which multiple concerts will be given over a five-day period at various venues in Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Franklin, Tennessee; and Clarksville, Tennessee.
The first performance of the new festival honors Franz Joseph Haydn, recognized as the father of the string quartet, and of the symphony orchestra. The fun starts tomorrow, April 4 at 7:30 pm, when the First Presbyterian Church in Clarksville will host a string quartet concert.
The same concert will be given the following evening in Franklin, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, starting at 7:30 pm.
On Sunday, April 7, the orchestra travels back to Clarksville, to the George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall, located at Austin Peay State University, where they will present two symphonies by Hayden – No. 1 and No. 104, the ‘London’ symphony. This concert begins at 4:00 pm.
Finally, on Monday, April 8, the orchestra returns to Franklin to play the symphonies at the Franklin Theatre, starting at 7:30 pm.
In addition to the symphonies, Hayden's Second Cello Concerto will be performed in both Franklin and Clarksville by Michael Samis, the GCO's principal cellist. Organizers of events like this can use brochure printing to create programs.
