SAN ANGELO, TX - The Angelo State University Symphony Orchestra will present its first concert of the fall season on Saturday, Sept. 27, in ASU's Elta Joyce Murphey Auditorium located inside the Mayer Administration Building at 2601 W. Ave. N.
Titled "Thunderstruck," the concert will begin at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The ASU Symphony Orchestra will be joined by Dr. Trent Shuey, ASU assistant director of bands, and Dr. Lisa Rogers, a professor of percussion studies at Texas Tech University.
The evening will open with the haunting and thrilling "Night on Bald Mountain," a tone poem of witches and wild spirits by Modest Mussorgsky. That will be followed by the explosive "Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra" by minimalist master Philip Glass, showcasing Shuey and Rogers.
From brooding mystery to percussive power, "Thunderstruck" will offer the audience a pulse-pounding journey not soon forgotten.
The ASU Symphony Orchestra includes about 50 student musicians and is directed by Dr. Fagner Magrinelli Rocha, associate professor of music.
