GENESEO, N.Y.—The Geneseo Symphony Orchestra will open its spring season on Feb. 28 at 3 p.m. in Wadsworth Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public.
The program will feature violinist An-Chi Lin, a member of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s first violin section and adjunct professor of music at Geneseo. Lin will be performing Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Introduction et rondo capriccioso, Opus 28.” Additionally, the orchestra will present Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Opus 64.”
“The Tchaikovsky Symphony is among the most remarkably romantic pieces ever composed,” said Jim Tiller, conductor of the Geneseo Symphony Orchestra and assistant professor of music. “The students have really worked hard to prepare this challenging concert.”
The Geneseo Symphony Orchestra comprises 70 musicians, uniting the gifted student performers with the music faculty members. The students in the orchestra are some of the best wind, percussion and string players at SUNY Geneseo. Tiller also is principal percussionist and assistant principal Timpanist of the RPO.
“It will be an exciting program,” said Tiller.
