I hope you’re ready for a once-in-a-lifetime musical event.  Our opening concert “Legends” salutes Tehachapi’s musical legend Gayel Pitchford.  Gayel helped found Tehachapi Symphony Orchestra in 1998 and has served as concertmaster and board president since the orchestra’s inception.  After 27 years, she is moving on to other projects.  Fittingly, we salute our own legend with legendary masterworks. Performing Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins are our new concertmaster Elizabeth Fewtrell and assistant concertmaster Wendy Clare.  The concert begins with Giacchino Rossini’s William Tell Overture and concludes with Ludwig van Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 5.  And we have a surprise or two as well.  I look forward to seeing you at Country Oaks Baptist Church on Sunday, October 19 at 4 p.m.
