Emerson Intergenerational Orchestra (EIO)
The EIO is exactly what its name promises: an orchestra made up of school age children and adults so that it is truly intergenerational. The Emerson community has been delightfully entertained by this eclectic group since its inception in 2001. The EIO usually performs for four or five services during the church year and showcases a variety of music, most of which is arranged for the orchestra by the director, Bill Atkerson. Rehearsals are on most Sunday mornings, 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m., before other church activities begin, in Westwood Hall. The orchestra is always looking for additional musicians.
If you are new to Emerson, and interested in joining this talented group, be sure to talk to Bill. You can stop by on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. in Westwood Hall to sit in on their weekly rehearsal and talk to him afterwards, or you can contact Bill via email. And don’t worry if you are new or rusty - Maestro Bill encourages musicians of all skill levels to give EIO a try!
