The University of Scranton String Orchestra To Perform May 12

On Friday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m., Performance Music at The University of Scranton will present a Concert featuring The University of Scranton String Orchestra.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Houlihan-McLean Center, Mulberry Street and Jefferson Avenue, downtown Scranton. Admission is free, with seating on a first-come, first-seated basis.

The concert will feature pieces by a variety of composers from different eras, according to Performance Music Conductor and Co-Director Philip Kuehn. Some of the featured composers will include John Corigliano, Samuel Barber, Igor Stravinsky, Edvard Grieg, Erik Satie, Felix Mendelssohn and Claude Debussy.

The University of Scranton String Orchestra is a 30-member ensemble comprised of members of the university community from majors and departments spanning the curriculum – the vast majority of them undergraduate students, joined by a few graduate students and members of the faculty and staff – none of whom are music majors, who are all brought together by their mutual love of music-making.
