The following is an excerpt from a story about the Suprima Chamber Orchestra, a Wichita State student chamber music group, that appeared in the Oct. 21 issue of The Wichita Eagle.
Wichita might quickly become a mecca for orchestral talent as a bridge has formed between the prestigious St. Petersburg State Conservatory in Russia and Wichita State University’s music program. The Suprima Chamber Orchestra, the St. Petersburg String Quartet and the Lieurance Woodwind Quintet were invited to perform at the International Conservatory Festival early next month, dedicated to the St. Petersburg Conservatory’s 150th anniversary.
