ANNVILLE, PA (10/21/2011)(readMedia)-- The Lebanon Valley College Honors String Orchestra, which includes 50 high school players from 13 regional schools, will present the world premiere of "The Call of the Sea" by Alexander Safford and other pieces in a free public concert on Oct. 29 at 6 p.m. in Lutz Hall of the Blair Music Center at LVC. The program will also feature Dr. Marie-Aline Cadieux as cello soloist.

The high school players will arrive on campus on Friday, Oct. 28, to rehearse and work with LVC music staff. Students from Conestoga Valley, Palymra, Hamburg, Warwick, Central Dauphin, Central Dauphin East, Ephrata, Hempfield, Cedar Crest, Hanover, Lancaster Country Day, Elizabethtown, and Susquehanna Township will be represented in this group of talented performers.

The group is under the direction of Dr. Hannes Dietrich, who teaches conducting and string methods and applied violin and viola, and conducts chamber music ensembles at LVC. He performs regularly as a violinist with Duo Terlano and the Majore Trio.

Cadieux, professor of music at Kutztown University and adjunct cello instructor at LVC, has performed across Europe, but has become an established presence in the Mid-Atlantic music scene since moving to the area in 1999.
