The Alliance Symphony Orchestra will present its spring concert on Sunday, April 23 at 3 p.m. in the Brush Performance Hall of the Giese Center for the Performing Arts.

The concert will feature two student soloists who were selected during Mount Union’s Solo con tutti competition earlier this academic year.

First place winner, pianist, Eden Walker of Beloit, OH, a music major and public relations minor, will perform the first movement of Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F. Baritone Samuel Darrin, the runner-up in the competition, is a music education major from Warren, OH. He will sing a recitative and aria from Handel’s Messiah: “Thus Saith the Lord of Hosts” and “But Who May Abide.”

The program will also include Gluck’s Overture from Iphigénie en Aulide, and Highlights from Porgy and Bess by Gershwin. Eric Benjamin, a music faculty member at Mount Union, will conduct the orchestra.
