Chelsea Orchestra show sounds promising

As I am slowly becoming integrated into the Chelsea and Dexter communities, I am learning something new every day. There is definitely a lot going on these two communities. For instance, the Chelsea Orchestra is performing their hometown concert April 17 at the Washington Street Education Center. The concert takes place at 7 p.m.

The Chelsea House Orchestra consists of very talented musicians from Chelsea High School. Throughout the year and across the United States, CHO performs its own unique versions of “Celtic with a Kick” music to thousands of people at festivals, fairs and other public and private venues.

Under the direction of the award winning musical director, Jed Fritzemeier, the CHO provides an eclectic mix of music and movement with the majority of the music derived from traditional Celtic sources.

The Beach Middle School Fiddle Club, under the direction of Nathan Peters, will open the show with its own lively version of fiddle music.

Tickets are on sale now and are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased via e-mail at tickets@chelseahouseorchestra.org or in person at Chelsea Pharmacy,1125 South Main St.

I highly reccomend that people attend. These young musicians are incredible and dedicated.

The first concert I attended was two years ago - a school concert for the kids just beginning the music/orchestra program. I have to admit - I was blown away by how good they were! (Especially after listening to my own child practicing what sounded more like cat torture for hours each week.) Once the kids were on stage and playing together, I (along with most of the other parents) was awed by how good they came together as a group. These kids stay in the program and only get better and better. They give up electives to remain in the orchestra, which for kids, is a real sign of their dedication to both the program and to their instructors.

Those who attend will not be disappointed, the programs are entertaining and the quality of music is really good!
