Northport Baroque

Concert # 1 July 09 (Sunday) Northport Performing Arts Center
soloists James Bekkering and Ken Larson

The trumpet can both bring down the Heavens and can also play with angelic lyricism. Our first concert features friends and colleagues, Jim Bekkering and Ken Larson on trumpets, performing a concerto by Baroque composer, Vivaldi, and “Song of Hope,” written for trumpeter Ryan Anthony who was tragically taken from us with cancer. Also, on the program are some opera favorites, the hilarious Barber of Seville by Rossini, and the mystical Overture to Nabucco by Verdi. Two big screen scores on the program are music from Ken Burns’ documentary, ‘Victory at Sea’ and the ever popular John Williams score to Indiana Jones.

Cole Parkford is a long time favorite returning to the Concerts in the Park.  Cole's smooth baritone voice captures your imagination and he will take you back to the 40s, 50s, 60s with his melodies, rock n roll and peppy Big Band sounds.  He uses top-of-the line electronic keyboard that has authentic instrument voices.

Come and enjoy the Sounds of Summer on the Bay with Cole Parkford!
