MUSIC THAT BECOMES YOU.
Music is not merely sound. It isn't just NOISE.
It's something more. It CONNECTS us. It becomes us.
Music makes us laugh, cry and dance. It reminds us of wonderful yesterdays, and gives us hope for better tomorrows.
We fall in love, mourn a loss, and CONQUER milestones, all with music.
Music DEFINES generations and gives meaning to a moment.
When I got here lastyear I asked my hubby what we can do together here in Little Rock. What are the attractions of the city aside from the river market during the summer. He mentioned about the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. I never been to any Symphony Orchestra in my whole life. He told me that one day he will take the there. I guess the right time come. Yesterday, he called me that our friend offer 2 Arkansas Symphony Orchestra ticket for free. Wow, I was very about it. I was looking forward to watch this kind of concert.
Are you a music lover? You'd not miss to watch the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra located at Little Rock, Arkansas. This Orchestra has been for so many years.
The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra celebrates its 43rd season in 2008-2009, but the presence of an orchestra existed long before the Symphony's incorporation in 1966. In 1821, the first formal concert took place at Arkansas Post. Through the years, many music lovers made several attempts to form a professional orchestra. In 1927, Ms. Stella Boyle Smith opened her own home for a group of musicians to practice with the hope of creating a symphony for Arkansas.
Establishing the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra was a difficult task. Upon incorporation in 1966, one local bank held the new organization responsible for the debts of past attempts. Ten orchestra members committed to success personally assumed the $6,000 debt so that the incorporation could proceed. Many symphony supporters gave of their time, money, and effort for the incorporation of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra in 1966, and more than 40 years later, many music lovers across the state continue to give of their time, money, and effort in support of the Symphony.
The first conductor of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra was Vasilios Priakos. Priakos had vast experience in conducting symphony orchestras in New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Florida. In 1968, Glen Owens was hired as conductor and business manager of the Symphony. Owens sought to establish financial security by gaining a $10,000 matching grant from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Arkansas Arts Humanities Council. The grant, along with generous contributions from symphony supporters, allowed the symphony to retire all outstanding debts and become financially stable for the first time in its existence, which was an amazing feat for such a young organization.
