The Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Nobuyoshi Yasuda, associate professor of music, will open with "Sensemayá" by Silvestre Revueltas. The piece follows the structure of a poem by Nicolás Guillén, which reenacts a magical snake rite.
Concerto for Cello and Orchestra by William Walton will follow, featuring Dr. Tulio Rondón, assistant professor of music, on cello. The concert will continue with "Nor Height, Nor Depth" by Dr. Ethan Wickman, assistant professor of composition and theory.
The evening will close with "Enigma Variations" by Edward Elgar. The piece, which includes 14 variations, is still one of the most popular works in classical repertoire.
