Students Perform in Great Composers Series Concert

Piedmont University hosted its Great Composers Concert Series on Feb. 24 in the Chapel on the Demorest campus. Piedmont's choirs, orchestra, and soloists presented the latest installment of the Great Composers Concert Series, Austrian Masters, during which they performed Josef Haydn's Symphony No. 2, Mozart's Symphony No. 29, and Franz Schubert's Mass in G.

Dr. C. Wallace Hinson, director of Piedmont's Conservatory of Music and associate dean of the School of Fine Arts, conducted the performance.

"The audience heard works that are at the core of the classical music repertoire. All three works on the program were written when the composers were relatively young," Hinson said. "The audience could 'see' into the mind of the youthful composers and perhaps make a connection to their more mature - and possibly better known - works."
