Seven Nations with the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra was a HUGE success at the Jax Irish Festival on Friday April 25th at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds.
A. Paul Johnson orchestrated several of SEVEN NATION's songs to be performed by the GCO with the band and he also composed the SEVEN NATIONS OVERTURE, which had it's premiere that night.
THE ORIGINAL SHEET MUSIC SCORE WAS PRESENTED TO SEVEN NATIONS' LEAD SINGER KIRK MCLEOD AS A GIFT JUST BEFORE THE GRAND FINALE OF THE SHOW.
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY AMANDA MORTIMER TO CAPTURE SOME OF THE MAGICAL MOMENTS DURING THE REHEARSAL.
