On May 19th the Coastal Symphony of Georgia is offering a very special evening, an evening to pay tribute to local wounded warriors. Luis Haza, conductor, considers this event “an artistic expression of gratitude” to those who have helped keep our freedoms in tact. Maestro Haza knows first hand how dear those freedoms are. You see, Luis Haza began his life in Cuba. His father was assassinated by Castro’s regime. He and his mother fled the country and came to America in order to survive. This concert is a way to say thank you in a huge, musical way.
Glynn Academy Concert Choir
This concert is particularly exciting since it will feature a chorus of 100 local singers from both the CSG Chorus and students from the Glynn Academy Concert Choir. Vocal selections include music from Verdi’s famous opera, Aida, The Battle Hymn of the Republic and other pieces you’ll know and enjoy.
I have long said that music is the tie that binds us all. It is an unspoken language that is Universal, it knows no race, color or prejudice of any kind. Purely written, performed and shared, music has the ability to heal, to bring together and to form the core of a community that feeds the soul.
Wounded Warriors and families
The wounded warriors program is so very important to returning troops. The work this group performs both locally and nationally is so needed by both our military service people and their families. What could be more uplifting than an event performed especially for these special people?
The performance begins at 8:00 on Monday evening, May 19th. Glynn Academy Memorial Auditorium is the site for event. Tickets are available at Hattie’s Books, St. Simons Drugs and online at www.coastalsymphonyofgeorgia.org. You may also purchase tickets at the door the evening of the event.
Last but not at least…..you’ll be inspired by the orchestra as it plays The 1812 Overture, a piece that always brings me to my feet! Come celebrate this wonderful event and help the Maestro say THANK YOU.

I wish I would have known of the concert sooner. My hubby and I are strong supporters of the wounded warrior project. In fact we are strong supporters of anything that has to do with our troops. Our son is an officer in the Army and we are so very proud of all our young men and women. Thank you for sharing the information.
