The Union College Music Department wraps up its fall musical performances beginning Sunday, Nov. 11 , with a concert by the Union College and Community Orchestra at 3 p.m. in Memorial Chapel. The concert is entitled "There will always be an England" and features works by composers who either hail from the British Isles, or are currently performing there.
Visiting Associate Professor Victor Klimash will conduct the orchestra’s performance of Sullivan’s "Overture to The Pirates of Penzance,” Professor Hillary Tann’s “Sarsen,” Peter Warlock's "Capriol Suite" and George Frideric Handel's suite of "Music for the Royal Fireworks."
A reception for the Orchestra and audience will immediately follow the concert in Hale House.
The final performance of the fall term features a student recital in the Fred L. Emerson Foundation Auditorium Monday, Nov. 12, at 5 p.m. Performers include pianists Peter Bonventre ’11 and Heidi Ching ’10, and vocalists Ben Bauer ’08, Yu Chen '10, Alexandra Gallagher ’09, Kara McCabe ’09 and Elizabeth Ruddle ’08.
