MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (November 12, 2004) —The Milligan College Orchestra will perform world premiere pieces by two Tennessee composers: “Arioso” by Jonathan Franklin of Johnson City and “Reflections” by Justin Hensley, a student at East Tennessee State University.
Franklin composes various styles of music, including wedding/chamber music, orchestra, and pieces for film and computer games. He is a former member of the Danville Symphony Orchestra of Danville, Ill. During his membership with the symphony, Franklin performed solos in many selections, including Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood,” Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera,” and John Williams’ “Jurassic Park.”
Hensley is the principal chair and section leader for the horn players in the ETSU Wind Ensemble. He is originally from Marshall, N.C.
The 22-piece orchestra will also perform songs of the season, including Corelli’s “Christmas Concerto Grosso” and Mozart’s “Toy Symphony,” which will feature Milligan College faculty playing the toy instrument parts.
The orchestra is under the direction of Dr. Kellie Dubel Brown, director of the strings program and chair of the music area at Milligan College.
The event will be held Friday, Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Seeger Chapel and is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Milligan College Music Office at 423.461.8723.
