LRSO concert Nov. 6 features two soloists

MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra will host its season-opening concert “A Triumphant Return” on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at Hanaway Theatre at Plymouth State University.

LRSO is partnering for the first time with Plymouth State University to perform in the Hanaway Theatre, and will feature pianist Dr. Adam Mayon, director of the University’s piano programs. Dr. Mayon will be performing Beethoven's “Piano Concerto No. 3” with the orchestra. The LRSO will also feature the winner of their 2021 student concerto scholarship competition, violinist Sava Thurber, performing “Carmen Fantasy” by Pablo de Sarasate. 

This year’s winner is violinist Sava Thurber. A senior at Phillips Exeter Academy, Sava has been studying violin since age four, and actively performs in youth orchestras throughout New England. In 2019 he performed for Prince Alexander and Princess Katherine of Serbia. Sava has a long performance resume, and is gracious in his philanthropic ventures as well, working with organizations on behalf of orphans in Belgrade and Haiti, among many others.

The November 6th concert is the first in the LRSO’s 2021-2022 exciting lineup, which can be viewed at www.LRSO.org. In addition to performing at Plymouth State University, we are honored to perform at the beautifully restored Colonial Theatre in Laconia for one of our Holiday Pops performances on December 10th. We perform two additional Holiday concerts on December 11th and 12th at Inter-Lakes Auditorium in Meredith as well.

On March 19, 2022 we feature one of New Hampshire’s outstanding guitarists, Mr. David Newsam, performing the famously enchanting “Concerto No. 1 in D minor for Guitar” by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. David is a renowned New England guitarist and instructor at Berkeley College of Music, Dartmouth College, and St. Anselm’s College.
