Guillermo "Bill" Ayerbe in ConcertFriday, Oct. 3, 2008, 7:30 P.M.
We are delighted to open this year's season with a performance by Bill Ayerbe, concertmaster of the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra. Originally from Jersey City, New Jersey, but of Ecuadorian heritage, Bill is a classically trained violinist with degrees from the Ukrainian Institute of America, New York University, and Creighton University. For the classical portion of this concert Bill will be accompanied by pianist Dr. Howard Kim, but the concert will also feature some of the music that he performs with local singer/songwriter Paddy Gibney. In addition to his orchestral and solo work, Bill maintains an active teaching studio. He has two solo CD's to his credit, Pasillos Inmortales and Ecos del Corazon.
The mission of the Saint Patrick Music for Charity Series is two-fold:
* First, to provide outstanding musical performances to the Cumberland County community admission free
* Second, to heighten the awareness of and raise funds for local charities through the performing arts.
In order to achieve these goals, the series aims to offer 3 or 4 concerts each season entirely free of charge to the public. These concerts are open not just to the parish but to the wider Fayetteville community. At each concert, the benefiting charity is invited to have a display in the church vestibule and to give a brief presentation about their work. A freewill collection is taken at the doors. The series expenses are funded by the generous donations of the Friends of the Music Series, through grants and through the support of Saint Patrick Catholic Church.
