Students take the stage!

As mid-terms approach, October brings the first student performances of the year. First up this year is the Student Composers Fall concert followed by the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble.

We look forward to welcoming this year’s distinguished Parsons and Poole Concert and Masterclass guest artist, Ingrid Fliter, piano, on Oct. 24 and 25.

The Fridays at 12:30 concert series kicks off the month with a performance by Josh Lovell, tenor, and faculty member Simone Luti, piano.

Behind the events

Students are fully in the swing of things by October and first performances come up quickly. As this year’s reading week falls at the beginning of the month, student ensembles are scheduled towards the end of the month.

Have you bought your opera ticket for next month's production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni? We expect this timeless masterpiece, filled with both comedy and tragedy to captivate audiences of all ages. Book via the Opera at Western page.
