Internationally acclaimed violinist ANDBSOM professor Helen Kim is the featured soloist.

One of the musical selections is “Fanfare for Democracy” by Jim M. Stephenson, a former professional trumpet player who, until an illness prevented him from playing the trumpet, now is considered one of the best modern-day composers.

Additional selections include Beethoven’s “Funeral March,” Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” and Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 6” that also is known as the passionate symphony.

The concert marks the first time that the students have performed together in more than a year or longer.
