The Denison University Orchestra will perform its final concert of the year at 7 p.m. on Sunday (April 6) in Swasey Chapel. The 50-student orchestra is directed by Denison Assistant Professor of Music Andrew Carlson and the concert is free and open to the public.

The orchestra will perform two movements, "Spring" and "Summer," of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" with Megan Long '05 reading and Carlson playing the solo violin parts. The first movement of J.S. Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3," Aaron Copland's "Prairie Night and Celebration Dance" from "Billy the Kid" and Carl Maria von Weber's overture from the opera "Oberon" will also be performed.

Carlson joined the Denison faculty in 2000 and is currently teaching violin and music history along with directing the Orchestra. A frequent performer at Denison, Carlson earned degrees at the University of Georgia and the University of Iowa.
