Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus ~ Spring 2012

Dennis A. Noon, Conductor Nancy V. Noon, Choral Director

The Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus, under the direction of Dennis A. Noon, were originally

organized in the summer of 2006 as “Wolfgang Classical Wind Ensemble.” In September 2008

the Wolfgang Singers were added and with the addition of 16 string players over the last two

years, the Director continues to recruit musicians to expand Wolfgang into a full Orchestra with

Chorus. The express purpose of Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus is to rehearse and perform in a

group of equally talented adults and students.

Wolfgang schedules three concert seasons per year: Winter-Spring – Summer – Fall-

Christmas, with approximately one month off between seasons. All rehearsals are held in the

music wing of Hedges Central, 7th and Canal Streets, in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Each Friday

between 6 and 8:30 pm you will hear the hall resounding with the sounds of Mozart,

Tchaikovsky, John Williams, Dvorak and other great composers. The summer season begins

June 22nd, 2012 and will end September 8

th with Wolfgang’s concluding Riverfront Concert at

Mt. Vernon River Days.

The directors invite new musicians to join the orchestra and chorus. If you are interested in

becoming a part of Wolfgang, please contact Dennis or Nancy Noon at 812-838-4481. For more
