Free Family Concert

The Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra & Junior Strings present a Free Family Concert on Sunday, April 28, 2013, at 4:00 p.m. in Kenan Auditorium.  The concert will feature young pianist Daniel Cheng, the Junior Division winner of the Annual Student Concerto Competition.  This season finale celebrates the 10 Year Anniversary of the Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra.  Alumni musicians are encouraged to attend.

The Youth Orchestra, conducted by Steven Errante, will perform Glinka's Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla, and also some music perfect for graduation season - Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1.  Daniel Cheng will perform the Rondo all' Ungarese by Haydn, and the orchestra will also offer music from the sound track of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

The Junior Strings will play James Horner’s The Ludlows, the haunting and memorable theme from Legends of the Fall; Camille Saint-Saëns’ Danse Bacchanale, a fiery dance from the opera Samson and Delilah; and Synergy, a dynamic and rhythmic piece by Deborah Baker Monday.  The Junior Strings is directed by Jane Tierney.

Tickets are by general seating and available at the Kenan Auditorium box office one hour before the concert.
