Program Notes
Lion of Knidos
The Lion of Knidos is a colossal six-ton fearsome lion sculpture carved from the same marble as that used to build the Parthenon, a temple in the Athenian Acropolis, Greece. British architect Richard Pullan, who was a member of Charles Newton’s expedition to Asia Minor, first discovered this larger than life sculpture in 1859. Dated to between 350 and 200 B.C., the massive lion once guarded the tomb of a Greek notable; it was then transported to the British Museum, where it now resides in the museum’s Great Hall as a pinnacle of ancient Greek marble work. As with many marbles owned by the British Museum, the Lion has been the subject of an ownership wrangling between Britain and Turkey.
Please silence phones and other electronic devices upon entering the Auditorium. Thank You

Students must provide their own instruments (except percussion and large instruments) and have completed at least one year of instruction. Campers attending full day must bring a lunch.

Start a Shaker Student Travel Savings Fund Today!
At the high school level, a great number of travel opportunities exist for students–whether touring in Europe with fellow students from the band, choir or orchestra, engaging in a language immersion program to Chile or Germany, or participating in a service project in Southeast Asia.
While all student travel experiences have fundraising opportunities to support the trips, we know these costs are great. The time to start saving is NOW! Our partnership with Huntington will allow you to start a Student Travel Savings Fund now.
Your savings today will give your student the experience of a lifetime in high school! To start your student’s travel fund, contact Brandon Tufts at Huntington’s Fairmount Circle branch at 216-515-0285.
