Young Kids take on Old Masters
Fifty kids will take on some of the toughest music in the classical repertory on Sunday, December 14 at 3 p.m. in UNC's Hill Hall Auditorium. Playing violin, viola, cello and piano, the young musicians are members of the Mallarmé Youth Chamber Orchestra's (MYCO). The December concert will include orchestral and chamber pieces by Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Bach, Verdi, Dvorak, Schubert, Brahms, Shostakovich and Respighi. The concert is open to the public and is free.
