Asheville Symphony string musicians to play WCU

art conductorString musicians from the Asheville Symphony Orchestra will join students and faculty members from the Western Carolina University School of Music in a performance at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, at the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center in Cullowhee.

 

The program will include “St. Paul’s Suite” by Gustav Holst, “Military Symphony No. 100” by Joseph Haydn and the “Barber of Seville” overture by Gioachino Rossini. P. Bradley Ulrich, WCU professor of trumpet, will be the concert soloist, performing a trumpet concerto by Georg Telemann.

The performance marks the start of the third season of a partnership between the School of Music and the Asheville Symphony Orchestra to provide opportunities for the symphony’s musicians and WCU students and faculty members to perform together.

Known as the Artist-in-Residence Orchestra, the partnership provides important educational experiences for music students and more employment opportunities for orchestra musicians. The program is supported by proceeds from performances. Artist-in-Residence Orchestra concerts include masterworks of the orchestral repertoire conducted by the Asheville Symphony’s Daniel Meyer. 

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and children.
