Christmas Cool with John Eric Booth, in Gallipolis, OH, 12/10/11 at 8:00 pm

John Eric Booth is part of the next generation of interpreters of The Great American Songbook. John brings his own brand of creativity to his performances. Recently dubbed by one reviewer as “The Prince Of Cool”. Take a recipe of Darin, Sinatra and Dino and you’ve got an idea of what a J-E-B show is like. John Eric Booth has been wowing audiences on both coasts. In New York recently he received a standing ovation at the esteemed Friars Club when he performed by invitation. John continued his New York tour with an outstanding debut at “The Laurie Beechman Theatre” Off-Broadway. Later in the Summer John performed at the legendary night club “The Mint” in Hollywood with The Pat Longo Quartet. John is happy to bring his show “Christmas Cool” to the Ariel Theatre. John will be performing songs of the season and sprinkle in some great classic songs as well. The J-E-B Christmas show will assuredly bring the spirit of the holidays to all who attend. Making this show a special family affair, John Eric’s daughter Erica will also appear with him as well.

Maestro for a Moment

This year’s Maestro for a Moment candidate is Dr. Jo Li. Read on for his nomination letter written by his wife, Cheryl.

Dear Friends of the Arts,

My husband, Joseph Li, M.D., has been asked to campaign for The Ohio Valley Symphony’s annual fund raiser “Maestro for a Moment” October 8, 2011. The 8:00 pm concert will be held at the Lillian and Paul Wedge Auditorium at Point Pleasant Jr/Sr High School.

As for Joe’s qualifications, he has played guitar and has taken piano lessons. He has enough experience to be very appreciative of people who play, making him a big fan of The Ohio Valley Symphony. Joe has also (possibly forced by me) watched Lawrence Welk a lot, so he has a great understanding of how to conduct an orchestra!

We want the Ohio Valley Symphony to be able to keep playing music to inspire others and help children to follow their dreams. Joe works as a Pediatrician at Holzer Clinic. He is also a father who knows the power of music and its impact on the intellectual, social and personal development of children.

Please join us in supporting The Ohio Valley Symphony by making a tax-deductible donation of any amount. Whatever amount you can donate, big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Also, please be sure to write his name on the memo line of the check. If you are so kind to donate $1,000 or more, you will receive a plaque engraved with your name that will be permanently attached to a seat in the theatre. The Ariel Theatre will contact you for the text for the plaque engraving to attach to a seat in the theatre, so be sure to put your phone number and mailing address on your check. If you would like to pay by Credit Card, please call the Box Office at 740-446-2787.

Please make checks payable to: (memo- Joseph Li, Maestro)
Ohio Valley Symphony
218 Pineview Drive
Gallipolis, OH 45631

Please return in the enclosed envelope before October 8th.

Come see us live October 8. If we win, we will dance for you. When the beat of the music starts, we get this amazing, wonderful feeling as we dance that we can actually fly around the dance floor! Please come and watch Joe dance and pick up the baton. Joe will treat us to his unique interpretation of “Stars and Stripes Forever” and keep us all on the beat! Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
