the F. Trevor Gamble Legacy Symphony

The Granville Historical Society invites you to donate toward the commissioning of the F. Trevor Gamble Legacy Symphony.

This gift to the community will only be possible with generous support of sponsors and individuals like you! Please donate today.

Your donation is 100% tax-deductible. Online donations subject to processing fee. Please consider making your donation go further by sending a check to the Granville Historical Society, P.O. Box 129, Granville, OH. 43023. Please put “Legacy Symphony” in the memo line.

The F. Trevor Gamble Legacy Symphony will add to the historic preservation of Granville in a unique and creative way by providing a "soundtrack of history" inspired by one of its cherished icons, Dr. F. Trevor “Trig” Gamble. The work will celebrate important aspects of Dr. Gamble's life -- from his days as a Navy pilot in the Korean War to his wisdom and guidance as Dean of Students at Denison University in the 1970s. The Society will commission the Symphony by Ching-chu Hu, Professor of Music and Director of the Vail Series at Denison University.

The Symphony will be premiered by the Denison University Orchestra (date TBD) at a free concert open to the public.

Composer, Ching-chu Hu

Ching-chu Hu, Professor of Music and Director of the Vail Series at Denison University, is an award-winning composer whose music has been performed nationally and internationally. Reviews describe his music as “breathtaking,” (AllMusic), “richly textured,” (Charleston Post and Currier), and “incredible” (The Columbus Dispatch).

Ching-chu has been commissioned several times. He recently captured history through his piece “Please Remember Me,” which honored Danny Crothers, a young Marine from Newark, Ohio, who was killed in action in the Vietnam War. Other commissions include works for the Granville Bicentennial Committee and the University of Iowa School of Music’s Centennial celebration.
