My wife and I saw several Freeport couples at Merrill Auditorium on Tuesday, April 1st to see a Portland Symphony Orchestra (PSO) performance dedicated to Russian composers. As my blog profile states, I do enjoy Russian classical music because I like thunderous instrumental sounds that optimize all of the instruments in the orchestra. My favorite piece on Tuesday evening was from Rachmaninov Concerto No. 3 in D minor for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 30. Stewart Goodyear, a 26 year old native from Toronto, Canada, had the audience captivated during his piano solos. Stewart drew 3 or 4 curtain calls at the end.
For those of you who are thinking of relocating to Freeport, Merrill Auditorium is a 25 minute drive from Freeport and parts of Pownal. The auditorium is located in the back of the City Hall building across from the Portland Press Herald building. The auditorium has a classy, metropolitan look. According to Joseph Silverstein, a highly accomplished violinist and an interim music director at the PSO, the Port city has a very accomplished group of musicians and an extremely supportive music community compared to other cities the size of Portland.
