Hamden Symphony to Perform on Campus

Thu., Nov 08

Music Department chairman Professor Jonathan Irving (right) will team up with the Hamden Symphony in a performance of Mozart's beautiful Piano Concerto No. 23 in A-major, conducted by Hamden Symphony music director Vesna Mehinovic.

Other works will also be performed by the Hamden Symphony in this concert on Southern's campus, to take place in the Adanti Student Center, 3rd floor Ballroom on Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m.

This fall marks the beginning of the Hamden Symphony's 51st season. An all-volunteer orchestra of more than 50 members from the Greater New Haven area and beyond, its members include teachers, doctors, lawyers, and grandparents, as well as both students and faculty from local universities. Founded in 1962 by Ruth Brooks -- who continues to perform with the group -- the orchestra provides cultural enrichment to the Hamden and Southern communities through its series of concerts, its annual Young Musicians Concerto Competition, the Ruth T. Brooks Scholarship Award, the annual Benefit Concert, and by the orchestral experience it offers area musicians and soloists.

All welcome to attend the Nov. 8 concert. Admission is $5 at the door. Call (203) 392-6625 for more information.
