The orchestra will perform a variety of works, including Symphony No. 4 by Johannes Brahms and "Peer Gynt" Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg, which will include the Hudson High School orchestra. Dr. Melissa Koprowski, assistant professor of music, will be featured on clarinet in Gioacchino Rossino's "Introduction, Theme and Variations for Clarinet and Orchestra."
