Celebrating Music in Our Schools

The symphony will be joined in a side-by-side performance of Brahms’ “Hungarian Dances 5 and 6” as the Elkhart Central High School Symphony Orchestra joins the Elkhart County Symphony. The young musicians will share stands with adult symphony members, who will serve as mentors. The concert will also feature the amazing violinist Wen Lei Gu performing Sibelius’ “Violin Concerto in D minor.” Gu comes to Elkhart from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. The program will also include Brahms’ “Academic Festival Overture” and Sibelius’ “Karelia Suite.”
