Whitman Orchestra To Perform With Carthage College
|
Since 1898, members of the Whitman College community have been performing orchestral music for the public.
Today’s Whitman Orchestra will perform jointly with Carthage College (Wisconsin) on Friday, March 8 at 7 p.m. in Chism Recital Hall, and then travel together to Portland State University for a performance on Saturday. They will perform Symphony No. 8 in G major (1889) by Antonín Dvořák and Primera Suite Argentina (1923) by Alberto Williams. (Flyer attached.)
Paul Luongo, Director of the Whitman Orchestra and Chair of the Music Department, says the two pieces have something important in common.
“Despite a 30-year gap between these two works, they weave together similar motivations in exploring one’s own cultural identity.”
