Creative Greensboro Conductor’s Final Concert Planned for June 6

Peter Perret, the conductor of the Philharmonia of Greensboro, will lay down his baton after his final concert at 7 pm this Saturday, June 6, at Dana Auditorium, 710 Levi Coffin Dr. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged to help sustain the City Ensemble concert series.

Perret's last concert with the orchestra, which will be accompanied by dancers from the Greensboro Ballet, includes an original piece by local composer Sumner Spradling, and will feature portions of Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony and Peter & the Wolf. Maestro Perret has conducted the Philharmonia since December 2012 and has had a career spanning both decades and continents. In addition to conducting many concerts internationally, he is a conductor emeritus of the Winston-Salem Symphony, the Danville Symphony Orchestra, and UNCG Opera Theatre. He is a respected clinician, author, researcher, and teacher.

A public reception honoring Maestro Perret will immediately follow Saturday's concert.
