Orchestra concert runs a musical gamut

Greenhills musicians of all levels gathered in the Campbell Center May 25 for a spring concert, playing a broad range of music from baroque to, well, Barbossa. 

For those unfamiliar, Barbossa was a pirate leader in Pirates of the Caribbean. The Upper School orchestra played a selection from the movie that had some in the crowd checking under their seats for doubloons.

The Bach piece was a little more standard: the Fugue in G Minor, also known as “The Little.” Other selections included “Violet’s Tango,” by Doug Spata; selections from Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition;” the main theme from Star Wars, by John Williams; and Dvorak’s “From the New World,” among others.

Conductor John Goodell rounded out the program with Henry Mancini’s “Pennywhistle Jig,” featuring a piccolo solo by Cameron Perrin ’17.
