The South ��ֱ���� State University Civic Symphony will deliver a celebration of timeless classics with its spring concert, starting at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 13, at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center.
 
The performance promises to transport listeners on a journey through time featuring the musical genius of Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Gilbert and Sullivan.  
 
The program opens with Bach’s Piano Concerto in D minor, performed with Thomas Tiegs as soloist. Listeners can expect sparkling melodies that seem to never come to a complete stop, and an interplay between the orchestra and soloist in a way no one other than Bach himself can create.  
 
The spotlight then shifts to two senior piccolo trumpeters, Caroline Reyner and Mason LeMaster, in a performance of Concerto for Two Trumpets by Vivaldi.  
 
Rounding out the first half of the concert will be soprano soloist Arianna Rice, who will perform a reflective aria from Mozart’s famous opera, “The Magic Flute.”  
 
The second half is dedicated to recreating in a concert setting highlights from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.” This celebrated work, deeply rooted in British satire, requires the combined talents of the orchestra and the SDSU Opera Workshop, under the direction of professor Emily Toronto.  
 
SDSU’s Civic Symphony maintains a long tradition as a cornerstone of the Brookings arts scene. The ensemble brings together students, faculty and community musicians to create a unique experience reflective of the talents and interests of those who call SDSU home. Designed to captivate audiences of all ages, the concert is free, and the public is invited to attend.
