During the Manchester Symphony Orchestra s Meet the Orchestra concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 4 in Cordier Auditorium, the 50-plus musicians will indeed be working in harmony. As an added treat, each instrument will briefly take the spotlight individually, giving the audience a better appreciation of its sound and how it fits into the orchestra as a whole. Each instrument will be introduced during a piece narrated by Dr. Scott Strode, professor of communication studies. The concert also showcases winners of the recent Collegiate Young Artist Competition, a biennial contest in which college musicians audition for the opportunity to be a soloist with the orchestra. Both student musicians perform their award-winning pieces during the concert.
Tickets are available at the door.
