Our Young @ Heart program was an outstanding musical treat. We started with our prelude music by Fred Scheffler and Nathan Brandt on the piano, sometimes playing together and other times, solo.
But the real treat was our main program with the two Charles at the piano and trumpet.

First let’s introduce our musicians. Both of our musical artists serve as professors of music at Cedarville University. Charlie Pagnard is also Principle Trumpet for the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, is the Minister of Music for our church (Washington Heights Baptist), and has recorded with the Boston Pops and with the Carillon Brass. He also plays most years with EuroBrass in Germany and the USA. Finally, because he has so much extra time, he has a Papa Murphy’s Pizza franchise. Chuck Clevenger is a Concert Pianist, teaches Humanities and Piano, and is an accomplished artist showing in many art collections. Perhaps his most renowned series of paintings are of the “Ohio Barns”. He regularly travels for the purpose of painting. If you are interested in his work, check it out at Artline Studio on Facebook.

I also enjoyed their explanations and stories of what they were playing. We were fortunate to gain a little music education as we were entertained. Notice Nancy Jensen beside Chuck Clevenger. She was his qualified “page turner”.
I know you all want to hear the concert. You can hear it HERE! http://www.whbc.org/media/audio/20130514_Concert.mp3

Our luncheon was served in honor of our mothers and also celebrated the taste of Cinco deMayo. As always our cooks and dining room helpers did an outstanding job. Thank you ladies and gentlemen!
