Signal in Spring with Heinz Hall Concert

September 1, 2006

On March 3, 2007, School of Music students will perform in a concert in Heinz Hall, Pittsburgh, as part of the Alumni Association's successful City Lights series. As President Graham Spanier will be in attendance, the event is being called the President's Concert. It will be at 8:00 p.m. preceded by an alumni reception. The Penn State groups expected to perform are the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Philharmonic Orchestra, Concert Choir and Centre Dimensions (jazz ensemble). A jazz combo will provide entertainment at the reception. This is part of collaboration between Penn State's School of Music and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, a collaboration that was revived this past spring, when the Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber Orchestra and Marvin Hamlisch were on campus. That residency included a side-by-side concert with Penn State students and members of the Pittsburgh Symphony.
