SU Mini Symphony Orchestra
Derek Garcia & Chris Claudio
Armstrong Concert Hall
4:15PM

This ensemble isn't the usual symphony orchestra you're used to hearing. For this concert, we want to portray the feeling of Love. Whether it was good or bad, everyone has had their own authentic experience falling in and out of love. It's a rollercoaster no one can control. We want the audience, even if it's just one person, to feel like their love can be expressed through these pieces. Which is why we think... “Why play a piece by Bach that everyone is tired of, when you can play an orchestral video game soundtrack?!”. “Why be the millionth ensemble to play Beethoven's 5th when you can play a piece by Laufey?”. We hope you enjoy, and fall in love with the passion this ensemble will bring to the stage.
