The Walla Walla University Department of Music will present its annual winter orchestra and choir concert on Saturday, March 4, at 4 p.m. in the Walla Walla University Church. The concert will feature the WWU Symphony Orchestra directed by Brandon Beck, associate professor of music, as well as the University Singers and I Cantori directed by Kraig Scott, professor of music.

The orchestra will perform pieces by Frescobaldi/Kindler, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Borodin, and Felix Mendelssohn.
