A classically-trained violinist\, Ms. Edwards credits gospel\, jazz\, hip-hop\, and neo-soul as her musical inspirations. She received degrees in Violin Performance from the University of Louisville (B.M.) and DePaul University (M.M.)\, studying with J. Patrick Rafferty and Janet Sung. \nDisrupting the status quo \nCurrently a mentor with the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative\, a program designed to offer resources to talented Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) youth pursuing careers in classical music\, Ms. Edwards’ musical ambition extends beyond herself. Having realized some of her own dreams—including winning numerous orchestral awards and earning the opportunity to perform and record behind artists such as John Legend\, Earth Wind and Fire\, Lauryn Hill\, Stewart Copeland\, Common\, Lucky Daye\, Yolanda Adams\, and India Arie—her ultimate goal is to help educate and inspire the next generation of young Black musicians\, and to see the voices and faces of Black people normalized in traditionally monopolized spaces through increased visibility and disruption of the status quo. \nMs. Edwards is a 2023 Sphinx MPower Artist Grant recipient\, a 2022 Esteemed Artist Award recipient from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events\, and a 2021 3Arts/Walder Foundation Awardee. She has performed with the Sphinx Symphony Orchestra\, \nNairobi Philharmonic\, Grant Park Festival Orchestra\, Chicago Sinfonietta\, National Repertory Orchestra\, the Chicago Philharmonic\, Oistrakh Symphony of Chicago\, and the ReCollective Orchestra in New York City and Los Angeles\, and was also a recipient of the Rising Star Award from the Gateways Music Festival. In addition\, Ms. Edwards has received Grammy certificates for recordings on Disney’s The Lion King with the Re-Collective Orchestra and for albums by John Legend and PJ Morton. \nHer acclaimed 2021 debut solo album\, Exhale\, fuses the sound of classical music with the soul and harmonies of gospel and neo-soul. The Elkhart County Symphony is honored and pleased to welcome Ms. Edwards and collaborate to perform some of her innovative and inspiring work at “Exhale & Celebrate.” \nFive joyful movements \nCapriccio espagnol is a five-movement orchestral suite\, based on Spanish folk melodies\, composed in 1887 by the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. It premiered in St. Petersburg in 1887\, conducted by Rimsky-Korsakov\, during an October performance by the Imperial Orchestra.  \nThe composer intended to write the work for a solo violin with orchestra\, but eventually decided that a purely orchestral work would better suit its lively and energetic melodies. Often praised for the strength of its orchestration\, Capriccio espagnol features a large percussion section and many special techniques and articulations—for example\, in the fourth movement\, when the violinists\, violists\, and cellists are directed to imitate guitars.  \nRimsky-Korsakov was considered a master of orchestration and was a member of the group of influential\, nationalistic Russian composers known as The Five. His best-known orchestral compositions—including Capriccio espagnol\, the Russian Easter Overture\, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade—are staples of the classical music repertoire\, and the composer was thought to have influenced an entire generation of younger composers and musicians during his many years as an educator. Rimsky-Korsakov\, therefore\, is largely thought of as the principal architect of what the classical music public considers the “Russian style.” \n\n \n Get Elkhart County Symphony Tickets URL:https://thelerner.com/event/elkhart-county-symphony-exhale-and-celebrate/ LOCATION:The Lerner Theatre\, 410 South Main Street\, Elkhart\, IN\, 46516\, United States CATEGORIES:Concert,Elkhart County Symphony ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thelerner.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Exhale-1920x1080-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Elkhart County Symphony":MAILTO:elkhartsymphony@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260520T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260520T120000 DTSTAMP:20260825T103505 CREATED:20260128T214639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T194728Z UID:10000387-1779274800-1779278400@thelerner.com SUMMARY:Lunchtime Live with Celia Weiss – Kimball Organ Concert DESCRIPTION:The Lerner is pleased to welcome an Elkhart favorite\, Celia Weiss\, back on The Lerner’s 1924 Kimball Organ in this free community series. \nCelia Weiss is one of few musical artists who hold the enviable record of having served as a soloist on two different musical instruments. A pianist and organist well known to local audiences\, the artist has appeared on numerous occasions with the Elkhart County Symphony Orchestra\, the South Bend Symphony Orchestra\, the IUSB Philharmonic\, the Manchester University Symphony Orchestra\, and in recitals throughout the area. \nMrs. Weiss is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music at IUSB for the Raclin School of the Arts where she teaches organ. She is a past recipient of the IUSB Merit Status and Outstanding Alumni Awards. She holds a B.M.E from Manchester College and a M.M. in Piano from Indiana University. An educator as well as a performer\, she has taught music in the Elkhart and Goshen Community Schools and piano at Goshen College. Since 1975 she has held the position of Director of Music and Organist for the First Presbyterian Church in Elkhart. She is a frequent accompanist for the Elkhart County Symphony Orchestra and performs several piano and organ concerts for the Lerner Theatre’s “Lunchtime Live!” each year. \nThe 1924 Kimball pipe organ located in Elkhart\, Indiana’s Lerner Theatre is one of only two Kimball pipe organs currently installed in its original location. The organ was restored following the 2011 renovation of the theatre which opened on Thanksgiving Day\, 1924. After the restoration\, a crew of nearly 20 from Bunn-Minnick Pipe Organs of Columbus\, Ohio\, spent three weeks hoisting equipment and filling the two pipe chambers with more than 1\,000 pipes. The project absorbed nearly 10\,000 man-hours for the crew over a year. \n \n \n \n \n \n BEHIND THE CURTAIN: A GUIDED THEATRE TOUR\nFollowing each Lunchtime Live Kimball Organ Concert\, audiences are invited to step behind the curtain and experience the Lerner Theatre in a whole new way with Behind the Curtain: A Guided Theatre Tour. \nHeld immediately after the concert\, these guided tours offer a fascinating look at the theatre’s rich history\, stunning architecture\, and behind-the-scenes spaces that bring the Lerner’s magic to life.
