The University of Iowa School of Music will present a free performance by the All-University String Orchestra and the UI Chamber Orchestra at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, in Riverside Recital Hall on the UI campus.

  • Sinfonia No. 3, RV 149 in G major – Antonio Vivaldi (Nadel, conductor)
  • Bachianas Brasilerias No. 5: Aria – Heitor Villa–Lobos; arr. John Krance (Chen, conductor)

The Chamber Orchestra, designed for graduate students, is based around the ensemble format established during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Its repertoire covers a broad range from classical and early Romantic composers to contemporary.

The All-University String Orchestra is designed specifically for nonmusic majors who wish to continue playing their string instrument while studying at the university. This unique experience includes students from diverse academic pursuits throughout the university.

The School of Music is part of the Division of Performing Arts in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
