Dr. Gene Dowdy, conductor of the Symphony of the Hills, provided an entertaining program at the meeting last Wednesday. Gene comes from a musical family- both his father and grandfather were both in military bands. But his mother was the one who faithfully took him to his violin lessons when he was growing up.
Gene not only conducts the regional orchestra, and heads up the music program at Schreiner University, but is also an accomplished violinist. He provided a few short but delightful snippets of music development over the last five hundred years, from Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, to music found in churches and taverns.
Please keep the following members and families in your thoughts and prayers.
