The following works will be performed: William Tell Overture by Rossini; Waltz from Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky; and Elgar Variations for Orchestra “Enigma.”
The performance will be under the direction of James R. Tapia, director of orchestral activities at SU’s Setnor School of Music in the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
