The Eunice Symphony Orchestra, which was conducted by Nancy Simon, welcomed singer Jonathan Thompson, of Basile, for a rendition of "Torna A' Surriento" at Sunday's performance at The Liberty Theater. The song is a popular Italian song– which was in 1902– featured among modern and classic pop songs from artists such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Queen and Adele for the Eunice Symphony Orchestra's presentation of "Over The Air Waves." The microphone that Thompson sang into was an original "ribbon microphone" from 1949 and donated from the private collection of KEUN's Rick Nesbitt.
