MARK MCCOY WILL BE FEATURED GUEST AT NOV. 16 PRE-CONCERT LUNCH

If you’re attending our Two Rivers Chamber Orchestra concert in Shepherdstown on November 17 you can get a preview of the performance at a luncheon the day before. The luncheon will be held at Shepherdstown’s Bavarian Inn on Friday, November 16 at 12 noon.
Our Music Director, Jed Gaylin, will speak, offering his insights into the works that will be performed at the concert.
The luncheon will also feature a special guest, Dr. Mark McCoy, the former head of Shepherd University’s Music Department and the Orchestra’s first music director. Dr. McCoy is now the President of DePauw University in Indiana. He is returning to Shepherdstown to help celebrate the Orchestra’s anniversary by guest-conducting one of the Saturday concert’s works, Mozart’s Overture to “Don Giovanni.”
Tickets for the luncheon are sold separately from concert tickets at a cost of $20 per person. All tickets must be prepaid before November 13, so the Bavarian Inn can have an accurate meal count.
The entrée choices will be: Grilled Chicken, with Mushroom Cognac Cream Sauce, Vegetables and Whipped Potatoes; Salmon, with Choron Sauce, Asparagus and Whipped Potatoes; or Fall Vegetables: Roasted Gourds, Grilled Squash with Truffle Emulsion, and Crispy Root Vegetables.
