Washington Symphony Orchestra will present WSO Country Jamboree at 8 p.m. May 4 at Trinity High School.
Nationally recognized hammered dulcimer musician Adam Sutch, senior at California University of Pennsylvania, will perform several American folk songs, including “Whiskey Before Breakfast” and “Blackberry Blossom.”
Themes from “Bonanza,” “Shenandoah” and “Tennessee Waltz” will be among the selections. Other selections are “Ashokan Farewell” from the Ken Burns’ Civil War documentary and Aaron Copland’s “Rodeo,” which will make the audience remember the old “What’s for dinner … beef?” commercials.
In addition, U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-18th District, will demonstrate his guitar playing and sing some country classics, such as “Witchita Lineman,” made famous by Glen Campbell in the 1960s.
Advance tickets are available at Citizens Library and all branches of Washington Financial, online at www.washsym.org or by calling the WSO at 724-223-9796. Tickets also will be sold at the door.
