EVENT: Chamber Orchestra Offers Community Performance of 'Peter and the Wolf'

The University of Rochester Chamber Orchestra will perform Prokofiev's popular "Peter and the Wolf' as part of a community music program series at the Church of Love.

The concert, which is free and open to the public, is at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 21, in the church, located at 700 Exchange St.

The piece will be narrated by Bishop Gregory Parris, senior pastor at Church of Love and a chaplain at the University of Rochester. The Chamber Orchestra also will perform Mozart's "Symphony #31."

The University of Rochester Chamber Orchestra is a 35-member group comprised of undergraduate students as well as several graduate students and community members. One of the premier performing groups on campus, the orchestra performs a wide variety of music, from Mozart symphonies to cutting-edge contemporary works. In addition to four formal free concerts in Strong Auditorium every year, the orchestra also gives numerous community performances and tours.
