Student orchestra performs Wednesday

The Philharmonic Orchestra will perform 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Musical Arts Center.

The orchestra will be conducted by professor of music David Effron and will feature guest violinist Noah Bendix-Balgley.

The famed orchestra has performed at various venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York and the opening of the Bastille Opera House in Paris.

The orchestra is composed of dozens of students who audition for positions in the orchestra.

At Wednesday’s performance, the orchestra will play “Dvorak: Carneval Overture, Op. 92,” “Respighi: Pines of Rome” and “Khachaturian: Violin Concerto” in D Minor.

Effron, conductor at the free event, has appeared with major symphonies and operas around the world.

Effron has conducted 105 operas in his career and was part of the conducting staff at the New York City Opera for 18 years.

For 10 years, he served as the general music director of the Heidelberg Castle Festival in Germany.

Since 1998, he has been working as a conductor at the Jacobs School of Music and worked as a professor of music in the Orchestral Conducting Department.
