The CSU Symphony Orchestra, directed by Dr. Rachel Waddell, presents a powerful program celebrating reflection, renewal, and new beginnings. Our journey begins with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, a stirring tribute to courage and resilience. Next, George Walker’s Lyric for Strings showcases the expressive beauty of our string section, led by graduate teaching assistant and assistant conductor Sam Cooper. The evening culminates with Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5, “Reformation,” weaving themes of introspection and triumph into an unforgettable musical climax.
