Wartburg Community Symphony
“Stars of Wartburg” will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Neumann Auditorium on the Wartburg campus. Also performing will be the student winners of solo, conducting and composition competitions.
“We are excited to feature four Wartburg students at this concert: Garrett Arensdorf, the Composition Competition winner; Riley Anderson, the Conducting Competition winner; and Annika Johnson and Emily Schmidt, the Concerto/Aria Competition winners,” said Jacob Tews, Wartburg College Symphony Orchestra director. “Garrett’s piece, ‘Nebula,’ will be premiered by the orchestra, Riley Anderson will conduct Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune,’ and Annika and Emily will perform as soloists in works by Richard Strauss and Mozart, respectively. Elgar’s beloved ‘Enigma Variations’ rounds out the program. Audience members will also have the opportunity to get a first glimpse at next year’s symphony programming. It’s a performance not to be missed!”
Tickets are available at the door for $17 for adults and $7 for students. Children 5 and younger are free. Wartburg College students are admitted free with their student IDs.
