The works of Mozart, Hummel, Haydn, Loewe and others will be on display Sunday, May 6, at 3 p.m. in Martin Chapel, as 11 local students showcase their talents in a young artists’ recital on the campus of Eastern Mennonite University (EMU).<\/p>\n

The program, sponsored by the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival<\/a>, will “give the community an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the special musical gifts of area students,” according to Mary Kay Adams, Bach Festival coordinator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The students that are selected are quite talented and the level of playing continues to rise each year,” said Adams. “Last year’s program was exceptional and I expect no less of this year’s performers.”<\/p>\n

The event is open to the public; admission is free.<\/p>\n
