VERO BEACH — The 65-piece Space Coast Symphony Orchestra will present its final concert of its Summer Series at 3 p.m. Sunday, August 7 at the Community Church of Vero Beach, 1901 23rd Street, 32960.

At the movies, nothing heightens the suspense, enhances the romance, and ratchets up the thrills more than the music. From the earliest days of the cinema, filmmakers have turned to composers to help bring their art to life. Now you can hear that music performed at the SCSO Summer Finale, Film Music Spectacular. Featuring modern film scores such as Chronicles of Narnia, Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Forrest Gump, this is a program that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Saxophonist Frank Tuckwiller joins the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra to perform John Williams’ charming and captivating Escapades for Saxophone and Orchestra based on his film score for Catch Me if You Can.

Tuckwiller has soloed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Folger Theater, the Chrysler Museaum and the Carpenter Performing Arts Center and performed with such groups as The United States Army Band (Pershing’s Own), the Asaph Ensemble, the Richmond Symphony and Sinfonia, and was a founding member of the Richmond Saxophone Quartet. He was selected as the saxophone soloist for the world premiere of Kavanaugh’s opera The Last Supper in Washington, D.C.

“I have been looking forward to this program for quite some time,” said Conductor Aaron Collins. “I grew up listening and enjoying movie scores. This is edge-of-the-seat music that is full of emotion and power.”

Advance tickets are $20 and may be purchased online at www.SpaceCoastSymphony.org, at one of three Vero Beach ticket outlets: Marine Bank & Trust (beachside and mainland branches) Madison Avenue Consignments, or by calling (321) 536-8580. Tickets at the door are an additional $5. Students 18 years of age and under admitted free.

For those unable to afford the price of general admission, the new SCSO Symphony for Everyone program will provide discounted tickets to anyone wishing to attend the symphony performance. See details at www.SpaceCoastSymphony.org.

Mike Block sinks his teeth in to improve music

Cellist Mike Block is a master of improvisation. So when a student at a recent strings improv workshop at Vero Beach High School asked a potentially awkward question about his teeth, Block went straight for the laugh. “When I was your age, I had braces,” he deadpanned. “Total waste. I lost all those perfect teeth.” And that’s how the musical director of Yo-yo Ma’s Silk Road Project has faced all of his audiences – with humor. His once checkboard smile is perfect again, fixed last year after an accident five years ago knocked out nine of his teeth. He was visiting Vero last month to build interest for his fifth international Mike Block String Camp scheduled for early July. For ...

‘How to Succeed’ playright’s son now lives in Castaway Cove

It was no surprise that when Riverside Theatre’s Allen Cornell asked the opening night audience how many had seen “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” before, hands shot up throughout the theater. After all, the musical that won playwrights Frank Loesser and Abe Burrows the 1962 Pulitzer Prize was a huge Broadway hit, with two revivals including one three years ago. Of all the fans in Vero, though, none could be as familiar as one Castaway Cove resident, Frank Loesser’s son, John Loesser. Now the manager of Stuart’s Lyric Theatre, John Loesser was 12 when the musical opened. A budding French horn player, he watched it from a seat in the orchestra pit of the Broadway Theatre, nestled ...

Riverside Theatre’s ‘How to Succeed’ still funny 50 years later

Who’d have thought a nitwit, a bimbo, a braggart and a big shot could set up a classist conundrum of morality. Not quite? Then how about a Broadway play, “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” a 1961 musical based on a satirical handbook written a decade earlier. The loftier premise of the play is that the corporate workplace is a bastion of B.S., where conniving worms can wriggle their way to the top without regard to ethics or even a solid C.V. The reality is that watching a lowly laborer unzip his blue-collar coveralls to prove he can be a suit with the best of them can be fun to watch, especially with a bevy of secretaries tossed ...
