WSO continued 30th anniversary season with 'A Night at the Movies.'
As the residents of Westfield and neighboring towns braved the bitter cold and blustery winds Sunday afternoon hurrying into the Presbyterian Church in Westfield, their efforts were well-rewarded by another wonderfully entertaining performance by the Westfield Symphony Orchestra. The show was entitled 'A Night at the Movies' and included themes from 13 different cinematic blockbusters. The dynamic David Wroe, Music Director and Conductor, and his incredibly-talented musicians led us on a trip down memory lane beginning with the stirring, '2001: A Space Odyssey' and then transported us to Tara for a powerful rendition of the theme from 'Gone with the Wind' (my personal favorite of the afternoon). Maestro Wroe then had the audience …

The Symphony will perform next at the Westfield Presbyterian Church at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 17.
What a wonderfully entertaining evening the crowd at Westfield High School was treated to last night compliments of the Westfield Symphony with David Wroe as its Music Director and Conductor. This sold-out concert, its 201st in this 30 Year Pearl Anniversary was entitled "Steppin' Out" and was jam-packed with 15 fabulous selections, the majority from famous Broadway shows.

The four singers, Sandra Joseph, Angela Birchett, Ron Bohmer and Kevin Grace, shared their beautful voices with a most-appreciative audience. Birchett was saucy and playful as she delivered "All That Jazz." Grace's rendition…
