Grace Kang, a cellist in the Chamber Orchestra and exchange student from Korea at Rolla High School, will perform a vocal solo during “Song of Sedona.”

The Symphony Orchestra will perform “Overture to Rosamunde” by Franz Schubert, the third movement “Rondo” of “Piano Concerto No. 5” by Ludwig Van Beethoven and “Symphony No. 94” by Franz Joseph Haydn. The performance of “Piano Concerto No. 5” will feature pianist Deborah Rambo-Sinn, 2015 Maxwell C. Weiner distinguished professor of humanities at S&T.

“This concert is a great opportunity to hear music from several cultures and eras,” Cesario says. “It has been a real pleasure and great learning experience for our students to work with Dr. Sinn.”
