Keith Lockhart<\/p><\/div>Save the date to see Keith Lockhart and Friends on Saturday, September 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Collins Center for the Performing Arts at Andover High School in Andover. This event is presented by the Northern Essex Community College Foundation, Inc., the Women of NECC, and the NECC Alumni Association. Proceeds from this NECC signature event will benefit NECC\u2019s Endowment Fund.<\/p>\n

Lockhart will present a talk on composer Igor Stravinsky\u2019s \u201cThe Soldier\u2019s Tale,\u201d illustrated by periodic interludes of music performed by a group of seven musicians. The 1918 theatrical Russian parable meant to be \u201cread, played, and danced\u201d tells the tale of a soldier who trades his fiddle to the devil for a book that predicts the future of the economy.<\/p>\n

Lockhart became the 20th conductor of the Boston Pops in 1995, adding his artistic vision to the Pops tradition established by his predecessors John Williams and Arthur Fiedler.<\/p>\n

This is a return visit to the Merrimack Valley for the 53-year-old New York native.
\nPurchase tickets early at $35 each before they sellout.<\/p>\n
