Augustana Arts: Emerging: New Musical Voices

"In an exciting conclusion to our 25th season, 'Emerging: New Musical Voices' showcases the musical voices of young artists alongside Stratus Chamber Orchestra. Enjoy a performance by the winner of 'Shine with Stratus!' - a concerto program where high school students have the opportunity to perform with a top-tier chamber orchestra. Stratus will also collaborate with City Strings - Augustana Arts’ music education program. The full program for the evening will highlight works by classical composers Mozart and Beethoven. In the spirit of Stratus to perform a diverse program featuring at least one living composer, they will also perform the world premiere of a piece commissioned for Stratus by emerging American composer Kevin Poelking. Poelking is an award-winning composer and conductor, whose own works have been performed all over the U.S. and Europe."
