Augustana Symphony Orchestra Winter Concert: Student Celebrations and Mozart 40
The Augustana Symphony Orchestra highlights students as soloists and composers in this celebratory concert with performances of the winners of the Student Concerto Competition and Orchestral Composition Competition.
In addition, the orchestra offers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s haunting Symphony No. 40 in G minor. One of only two symphonies that Mozart wrote in a minor key, the “G minor” offers a glimpse into the depths of Mozart’s inner turmoil through this exactingly composed and emotionally wrought work.
Winter choral concert
The concert will feature the Jenny Lind Vocal Ensemble, directed by Michael Zemek, and the Augustana Concert Chorale, directed by Sonja Hurty. They will be joined by the winners of the Webster Vocal Competition.
