Dear Music Lovers and Supporters,
This week’s music offering is Stand By Me from the BSO’s second livestream concert on May 16, 2021, that was broadcast from the Carolina Ballroom at the Dataw Island Club. The recording is on YouTube: BSO Strings perform Stand By Me. The words and music are by Ben E. King (with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller) and the arrangement is by Larry Moore.
About the music, Maestro Fred Devyatkin writes, “The perfect sentiment for the COVID-19 challenges, this arrangement borrows heavily from the original string arrangement of the Ben E. King classic.”
We appreciate all who can donate to the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra.
Sincerely,
BSO Board and Musicians
