– The Cal Poly Symphony’s Winter Concert will showcase the talents of student soloists at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 11, in Miossi Hall in the Performing Arts Center’s Christopher Cohan Center.
In addition, the symphony will perform four works by Mexican composers: Arturo Márquez’ “Danzon No. 9” and “Conga del Fuego Nuevo,” Blas Galindo’s “Poema de Neruda,” and Silvestre Revueltas’ “Sensemayá.”
The concert will highlight performances by two instrumentalists and two vocalists, who are all winners of the Cal Poly Music Department’s Solo Competition in November.
The instrumentalists are cellist Karlson Can, a music major who will perform the first movement of Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85, and violinist Fiona Soetrisno, a computer science major who will play the first movement of Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, Op. 14.
The vocalists, both music majors, are contralto Dylan Benander, who will sing “Mio cor che mi sai dir” from George Frideric Handel’s “Rinaldo,” and alto Mady Frei, who will perform “Erbarme dich, mein Gott” from Johann Sebastian Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion.”
The concert will be conducted by Music Professor David Arrivée.
