SUMMARY:Social Media That Builds Trust (and Actually Helps Your Business)
DESCRIPTION:Running a business keeps you busy. And when marketing gets pushed to the bottom of the list\, social media is often the first thing to fall behind. \nBut here’s the reality: when people are considering doing business with you\, they often look you up on social media before they make a decision. What they see can either build trust — or create doubt. \nIn this practical one-hour workshop\, the team from StoryArk Digital Marketing will walk through how small businesses can use social media more effectively without spending hours every week trying to keep up with trends. \nYou’ll learn: \n• The real purpose of social media for small businesses \n• What types of posts actually build trust with potential customers \n• A simple system for staying consistent without feeling overwhelmed \n• Which social media metrics actually matter (and which ones don’t) \nThroughout the workshop\, we’ll share real examples of posts that work and practical ideas you can start using right away. \nWhether you manage your social media yourself or have someone helping you\, this workshop will give you a clearer strategy for showing up online in a way that supports your business.

SUMMARY:The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others: A Celebration of Film Music
DESCRIPTION:The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond\, The Lion King\, The Pirates of the Caribbean\, Gladiator\, The Dark Knight\, Inception\, Interstellar\, Top Gun\, Dune and more! \n“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups\, film enthusiasts\, music lovers\, and families. The best music will be performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations\, laser projections\, and selected film clips. Star soloists from the Original Broadway Production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King”\, Zimmer’s most beloved box office smash hit. \nNo other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar-\, Globe- and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as “James Bond”\, “The Lion King”\, “Pirates of the Caribbean”\, “Gladiator”\, “The Dark Knight”\, “Man of Steel”\, “Inception”\, and “Interstellar”. \nHans Zimmer wrote the film scores of more than 200 movies\, won his second Oscar for “Dune” (2022)\, following his first Academy Award for “The Lion King” (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model\, whose work will be featured with excerpts from the films “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Zimmer followed Morricone’s example of composing the film music often before – instead of after – filming\, and shaped the entire film. He changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” for example\, and the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer. \nThe press has been giving enthusiastic response:\n“…What a successful event and ecstatic audience…”\n“…Fascinating how the spark jumped over at this concert…”\n“…Very impressive were the titles with large orchestra …” \nTHE HOLLYWOOD FILM ORCHESTRA\nThe Hollywood Film Orchestra has been created for this concert series and works usually with state Orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the leading music venues of the world\, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna\, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris\, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich. \nHans Zimmer™ is a trademarks of their respective owners.

SUMMARY:Elkhart County Symphony – ECHOES OF FATE\, PESKIN & TCHAIKOVSKY
DESCRIPTION:A Symphonic Panorama \n“Echoes of Fate\,” March 29\, 2026 at The Lerner Theatre\, presents guest soloist Michail Thompson on trumpet and a challenging\, intriguing\, and expansive range of orchestral experiences \nThe Elkhart County Symphony’s fourth concert of the 2025-26 season\, “Echoes of Fate”—March 29\, 2026 at The Lerner Theatre in Downtown Elkhart—presents an exciting and challenging repertoire and offers a range of memorable orchestral experiences to entertain\, delight\, and intrigue our audience. \nMichail Thompson\, assistant principal trumpet with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington\, D.C.\, joins the Elkhart County Symphony as the featured guest soloist for Vladimir Peskin’s Trumpet Concerto No. 1 in C Minor\, and the Symphony welcomes the Concord High School Symphony Orchestra for a side-by-side community collaboration. Additionally\, the Symphony performs Tchaikovsky’s renowned Symphony No. 4 in F minor\, Op. 36. \nTrumpeter Michail Thompson has made orchestral debuts with top ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra\, San Francisco Symphony\, Opera\, and Ballet\, and joined the National Symphony Orchestra as 2nd Trumpet in 2025. Mr. Thompson—who has spent summers as a fellow at storied institutions such as the Tanglewood Music Festival\, Music Academy of the West\, and the National Orchestral Institute—has performed with the Canadian Brass\, won the Vincent Bach Trumpet Competition\, and been a finalist at the National Trumpet Competition. \nMusical elixir\, inspired by tragedy \nRussian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote his solemn and powerful Symphony No. 4 in F minor\, Op. 36 between 1877 and 1878. The work debuted in February of 1878 at a Russian Musical Society concert in Moscow\, with Nikolai Rubinstein as conductor. The fiery\, vast\, and rapturous symphony was met with early criticism\, most specifically from purists who felt the work did not adequately represent Russian musical values. Despite its early mixed reception\, the symphony grew into an orchestral standard\, and—to this day—remains one of the most frequently performed symphonies of the late 19th century. \nTchaikovsky’s personal and professional life was said to be marred by crises and depression. His separation from his mother at a young age for boarding school\, followed by her early death\, and the untimely deaths of family members and friends—including his dear colleague\, the aforementioned Rubinstein—all were contributors. Although celebrated in his lifetime\, Tchaikovsky felt neither beloved nor respected by critics and musical peers. During his life\, the composer—who kept his homosexuality private—endured a failed marriage to Antonina Miliukova\, a failed suicide attempt\, and the gutting collapse of his 13-year association with wealthy patroness Nadezhda von Meck. \nSimilarly\, Vladimir Peskin’s musical compositions seem born of chaos and tumult. Little is known about Peskin’s life. What is known is that he lived in Geneva from 1914 to 1916 and received music lessons at the Académie de Musique de Genève after his father\, like many other Russian revolutionaries\, was exiled to Switzerland by the Stalin regime. The son of refugees\, Peskin would have to give up his early piano studies due to a hand disability caused by overuse\, at which point he turned primarily to composition. \nExperts suggest Anton Rubinstein as Peskin’s central role model\, and his teacher\, Samuil Feinberg—along with composer Sergei Rachmaninoff—are credited as influences in his well-known works. Peskin’s Trumpet Concerto No. 1 in C Minor has stood the test of time and is considered one of the most enduring trumpet concertos ever composed.

SUMMARY:Elkhart County Symphony – Exhale & Celebrate
DESCRIPTION:Music for Breathing\, Music for Joy \nThe Elkhart County Symphony’s exuberant Season 78 finale\, “Exhale & Celebrate\,” includes inventive works composed by—and featuring—guest soloist Caitlin Edwards and a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol by the Symphony \nOn May 17\, 2026\, at The Lerner Theatre in Downtown Elkhart\, the Elkhart County Symphony presents its 2025-26 season finale\, “Exhale & Celebrate.” The Season 78 finale features guest soloist Caitlin Edwards on violin and presents a repertoire including music from the guest soloist’s album Exhale\, as well as the Symphony performing Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol and additional orchestral works. \nMs. Edwards\, a violinist\, arranger\, recording artist\, and teacher based in Chicago\, began her musical journey at age eight through the Music Opportunity Program in Birmingham\, Alabama. A classically-trained violinist\, Ms. Edwards credits gospel\, jazz\, hip-hop\, and neo-soul as her musical inspirations. She received degrees in Violin Performance from the University of Louisville (B.M.) and DePaul University (M.M.)\, studying with J. Patrick Rafferty and Janet Sung. \nDisrupting the status quo \nCurrently a mentor with the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative\, a program designed to offer resources to talented Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) youth pursuing careers in classical music\, Ms. Edwards’ musical ambition extends beyond herself. Having realized some of her own dreams—including winning numerous orchestral awards and earning the opportunity to perform and record behind artists such as John Legend\, Earth Wind and Fire\, Lauryn Hill\, Stewart Copeland\, Common\, Lucky Daye\, Yolanda Adams\, and India Arie—her ultimate goal is to help educate and inspire the next generation of young Black musicians\, and to see the voices and faces of Black people normalized in traditionally monopolized spaces through increased visibility and disruption of the status quo. \nMs. Edwards is a 2023 Sphinx MPower Artist Grant recipient\, a 2022 Esteemed Artist Award recipient from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events\, and a 2021 3Arts/Walder Foundation Awardee. She has performed with the Sphinx Symphony Orchestra\, \nNairobi Philharmonic\, Grant Park Festival Orchestra\, Chicago Sinfonietta\, National Repertory Orchestra\, the Chicago Philharmonic\, Oistrakh Symphony of Chicago\, and the ReCollective Orchestra in New York City and Los Angeles\, and was also a recipient of the Rising Star Award from the Gateways Music Festival. In addition\, Ms. Edwards has received Grammy certificates for recordings on Disney’s The Lion King with the Re-Collective Orchestra and for albums by John Legend and PJ Morton. \nHer acclaimed 2021 debut solo album\, Exhale\, fuses the sound of classical music with the soul and harmonies of gospel and neo-soul. The Elkhart County Symphony is honored and pleased to welcome Ms. Edwards and collaborate to perform some of her innovative and inspiring work at “Exhale & Celebrate.” \nFive joyful movements \nCapriccio espagnol is a five-movement orchestral suite\, based on Spanish folk melodies\, composed in 1887 by the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. It premiered in St. Petersburg in 1887\, conducted by Rimsky-Korsakov\, during an October performance by the Imperial Orchestra. \nThe composer intended to write the work for a solo violin with orchestra\, but eventually decided that a purely orchestral work would better suit its lively and energetic melodies. Often praised for the strength of its orchestration\, Capriccio espagnol features a large percussion section and many special techniques and articulations—for example\, in the fourth movement\, when the violinists\, violists\, and cellists are directed to imitate guitars. \nRimsky-Korsakov was considered a master of orchestration and was a member of the group of influential\, nationalistic Russian composers known as The Five. His best-known orchestral compositions—including Capriccio espagnol\, the Russian Easter Overture\, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade—are staples of the classical music repertoire\, and the composer was thought to have influenced an entire generation of younger composers and musicians during his many years as an educator. Rimsky-Korsakov\, therefore\, is largely thought of as the principal architect of what the classical music public considers the “Russian style.”
