Concert Review

I truly have an open hear to all genres of music but I never attended a LMU music concert, so I decided it would be nice to support the music students by going to their fall concert. On November 23, 2013 at 8:00pm, I attended a LMU fall music concert. The concert was titled; “ The LMU Chamber Orchestra Fall Concert” and it took place in the Murphy Recital Hall.

The second selection came from the time period of (1938), and was composed by John Coriglano. This piece included a guest Flute player by the name of Dr. Rik Noyce, accompanied by a String Orchestra with cellist, double bass players, violist and violinist.
