S. Bach, performed by sophomores Emily Stumpf of Baltimore, Md.; Alexis Stave of Maple Plain, Minn.; and Jimmy Pang of Staten Island, N.Y.
Senior Holly Jones of Olean, N.Y., will conduct Alexander Borodin’s “In the Steppes of Central Asia” and “Vocalise” by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The orchestra concert will begin with Antonin Dvorak’s “Carnival Overture.” The orchestra is under the direction of Dr. Richard Konzen.
