Note from the Conductor
April 18, 2007
It is with great pleasure that I commend this Orchestra on an exemplary Inaugural performance.
It is so impressive experiencing such talent from over the state of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio, with inclusion of sixteen various countries represented in The Symphony Orchestra of NCWV and our “Home Among the Hills.” Your attitude reflected interest, commitment, and there was an air of beauty in your presence, co-operation and charm. Actually, your total presence was exhilarating.
I was truly pleased with this recent concert of great music, filled with diversity and musical challenge. Each rehearsal manifested perpetual continuity and ensemble virtuosity into a magnificent presentation.
Jason Posnock, CONGRATULATIONS as Concertmaster and your Violin Solo was incredibly beautiful. Marissa Ulmer, Rosemary Pawlosky, and Roy Hage, you were all “icing on the cake.”
I congratulate each and every member of this orchestra. Thank You.
Maestro, John Melvin “Michael” Collins, Conductor
