Summer Symphony Orchestra Concert
Location: Duerksen Fine Arts Center, Miller Concert Hall
Dvorak's Eighth Symphony and an array of musical theater selections highlight the WSU Summer Orchestra concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 19, in Miller Concert Hall. The "G Major Symphony" by Czech composer Antonin Dvorak, composed in 1889, is a tuneful, vibrant work whose melodies and amiable spirit seem derived from the Bohemian countryside itself. Faculty artists Emily Sternfeld-Dunn, soprano, and Randolph Lacy, tenor, will perform solos and duets representing three giants of American musical theater: George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. The program will also include Beethoven's dramatic Egmont Overture.
Tickets for this event are $7 with discounts available, and they go on sale June 28. For more information and tickets, please call the WSU Fine Arts Box Office at 316-978-3233.
