School of Music Returns to Lincoln Center Stage

For the third time in eight years, students and faculty from the Ithaca College School of Music will have an opportunity to perform in one of the nation’s premier concert settings: Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center.

The New York City concert by the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and Women’s Chorale will take place at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, April 12. Tickets are $35 for adults and $20 for children 12 and under. Tickets may be ordered from Center Charge Tickets at (212) 721-6500, or through the World Wide Web at www.lincolncenter.org. For more information, contact the School of Music at 274-3366.

The concert will mark the sixth time in its history that the School of Music has staged a performance at Lincoln Center. This program is being given to celebrate the completion of the new James J. Whalen Center for Music, an expansion that will double the size of the school’s current Ford Hall home. A formal dedication ceremony for the facility will take place on campus in the fall.

The program will open with Shostakovich’s "Festive Overture" and conclude with Tchaikovsky’s rousing "1812 Overture." Works by Raminsh, Respighi, Sparke, and others will also be featured. The wind ensemble is conducted by Stephen Peterson, the women’s chorale by Janet Galván, and the symphony orchestra by Grant Cooper.
