Spring concert set for May 7

LW ORCHESTRA

The LW Orchestra will present its free spring concert on May 7 at 1 p.m. in Clubhouse 4. It will begin with a patriotic medley that includes the Ukrainian National Anthem sung by an opera-quality tenor. Refreshments will be served after.

In addition to some Korean songs arranged by orchestra conductor Dr. Samuel Kim, highlights include “Bugler’s Holiday,” by Leroy Anderson; the second movement from Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 (“Surprise”); and “The Sound of Music,” by Richard Rodgers.

The Leisure World Korean Community Church Choir will join the orchestra to sing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”; “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” by Bach; and the “Hallelujah Chorus,” from Handel’s “Messiah.”

While the orchestra has grown over the past two years, it is still seeking oboe and French horn players, as well as another clarinet player. Rehearsals are on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons in the Amphitheater.
