Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra – Rogues, Rascals and Rapscallions

The BVAA, in conjunction with the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra, is offering a fun night of art and music! The orchestra provides the music while the BVAA provides the art!

On Saturday, November 14th from 7:30-10pm the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra will be performing a show. The BVAA will have art up for patrons to enjoy before the show and during intermission.

Anne McNevin is organizing the art for this show. Deadline to submit your titles and sizes via the online form is Monday, November 9th. This gives Anne time to determine how many panels will be needed. There’s no fee to participate.

BVAA Online Submission Form

Drop-Off for the show will be Thursday, November 12th and Friday, November 13th from 5-7pm. Everything will then be set up Friday night so it’s ready to go for Saturday. Pick-up will be Sunday morning from 8-10am. If you can’t make that, email Anne to make other arrangements.

The music being performed on Sat the 14th will be themed along “Rogues, Rascals, and Rapscallions” – including Billy the Kid by Copeland and Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks by Strauss. We should aim to bring the best art in our libraries, to match the high quality of the performance. That being said, if you have two great pieces and one features a roguish character (let’s say Captain Jack Sparrow) then that might be a perfect one to choose!
