Really Terrible Orchestra- April 3 in White Plains

The Really Terrible Orchestra of Westchester is holding its “Spring Tune-Up” concert from 3 to 5:30 p.m. April 3 at Grace Church of White Plains, 33 Church St.

There is a suggested $7 donation that includes refreshments.
Under the direction of conductor Benjamin Niemczyk, the amateur orchestra will, in the words of its musical director, Barbara Rosenthal, “attack works by Bach, Brahms, Bizet, Mussorgsky and other composers unable to respond with legal action.”

The orchestra’s “Really Terrible Dixieland Jazz Band” also will play a medley of popular standards.

The RTO was created in 2009  modeled on the Really Terrible Orchestra founded in Edinburgh, Scotland, by author Alexander McCall Smith. It is an ensemble of amateur musicians “who do not let rusty skills or fear of success get in the way of philharmonic fun,” Rosenthal stated.
