"An exceptional, multi-talented young performer."
Seventeen-year-old Maurice Cohn, a senior at Galesburg High School (GHS), began his cello studies with KGS principal cellist Carolyn Suda at age four, began performing with the KGS in the Music Memories educational outreach program at age 14, and is now in his third season performing as a KGS section cellist. Cohn has also performed with the Illinois All-State Orchestra, the Galesburg Community Chorus, and is principal cellist of the Monmouth Chamber Orchestra.
In 2010, Cohn received a scholarship to attend the Easter Music Festival in North Carolina, where he played under the direction of acclaimed conductor Gerard Schwarz. In 2011, he was admitted to the prestigious Madeline Island Chamber Music program, and was one of 12 cellists chosen to participate in the National Cello Institute’s Advanced Residency program in Los Angeles (CA). In past summers he has attended the Sound Encounters Music Festival and the Chicago Suzuki Institute Advance Program.
In addition to his cello studies, Cohn has studied classical piano for ten years with Mary Runyon Gibbs and is a former winner of the KGS Young Pianists Competition.

DOUBT: A PARABLE Featuring the Montana Repertory Theatre
The theater’s 2012 Red Carpet Series kicks off in February with the critically-acclaimed stage production of Doubt: A Parable by the Montana Repertory Theatre. Doubt was written in 2004 by John Patrick Stanley and quickly won accolades in the theater world; including a 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play. Doubt was adapted for film in 2008 starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman and was nominated for five Academy Awards. The play is set in a fictional Bronx Catholic school in 1964 in which a progressive parish priest and a rigidly conservative nun become at odds over perceptions of inappropriate behavior with a student.
The Orpheum Theatre presents Doubt: A Parable on Sunday, February 19 for a 3:00 pm matinee.
Tickets are $20, $30 and $35. All students college age and younger are $15 (except Mezzanine).

ORPHEUM THEATRE LIGHTING REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The Orpheum Theatre will be undergoing a full lighting efficiency upgrade project during January and February. This project will not only make the theater more energy efficient but will reduce material replacement expenses by replacing incandescent bulbs with longer lasting LED bulbs. In addition, this project will replace all of the theater's out-dated and inefficient theatrical lighting with modern, up-to-date equipment.
The $125,000 project is fully underwritten through contributed income including a $100,000 federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant.
