The 45-member ensemble, directed by Dr. Joan Griffing, music department chair, will feature the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with the strings playing the popular “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.”

Dr. Paulo R. Steinberg, assistant professor of music, will play Mozart’s “Piano Concerto No. 20.”

The program will conclude with Enesco’s “Rumanian Rhapsody No. 1.”

Mozart’s work is being featured in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the Austrian composer’s birth.
