 The ECU Symphony Orchestra continues an exciting 2007-2008 season with a wide variety of programming in a host of venues that will delight audiences of all ages. Last fall, celebrating East Carolina University's 100th year, Maestro Richter took the university’s premier ensemble to perform in new locales in Eastern North Carolina, including a performance in Wilmington’s Minnie Evans Arts Center and to Rocky Mount's Dunn Center for the Performing Arts. The orchestra also performed in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Greenville, home to one of the most significant tracker organs in the nation.
This spring Richter directs off-campus performances on the season of the Pamlico Music Society and at the “orchestra pit” at A. J. Fletcher Recital Hall (for Mozart’s The Magic Flute).
Upcoming soloists include clarinetist Christopher Grymes, percussionist Jonathan Wacker, oboist Bo Newsome, and violinist Leo Perez, winner of the 2007-2008 ECU School of Music Concerto Competition.
In addition to traditional concerts and added regional events, the orchestra performs the annual educational concert for the Pitt County Public Schools; the Friends of the School of Music Scholarship Gala, and as an offering of the NewMusic@ECU Festival.
