Repeated standing ovations marked this year’s Concerto Concert, Saturday night, March 30.  “The soloists’ preparation and passion for the music was clearly evident in their performances,” said Cassandra Kern, Administrative Assistant for the Division of Arts.  “I was very impressed with how well the orchestra accompanied the soloists.” 

  The concert consisted of performances by seven student soloists and included the music of Mozart, Hummel, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky.  A copy of the printed program can be found here.
