The thirty-fifth annual concert of ethnic music is a salute to Scotland. It is also the "downbeat" of the Macomb Symphony Orchestra's forty-fifth season. The Scots have a long and proud history that is reflected in their art and music. Joining the orchestra for the revelry will be the St. Andrew's society Pipes and Drums.

Knowledge, insightful and entertaining are compliments we have heard when speaking of U. of D. Professor, Gregory Sumner, our resident movie maven. The holiday concert has assumed a theatrical atmosphere with the input from Greg.

Great movies without great musical scores are hard to imagine. Professor Sumner sets the stage for us by explaining the plot and history of a number of holiday movies, and then famous portions are projected over the orchestra. The MSO concludes each portion by playing "live" the music that helped make the movie great.

The annual concert of "early music" is always anticipated by our audience. The smaller sized orchestra offers an intimate listening experience not to be heard with the full symphony orchestra. If the names of Bach, Handel and Vivaldi whet your appetite, you'll find it here.

The concert of baroque music will be presented at Trinity Lutheran Church (Van Dyke at M 59). Joining the Chamber Orchestra will be the Macomb Chamber Choir from Macomb Community College.
