Concert will play music to create the mood tonight in Fine Arts Building

Music for children of all ages will fill the Dvorak Concert Hall tonight, providing a romantic atmosphere for those who want to spice up their Valentine’s Day.

The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

For one hour and fifteen minutes, Valentine lovers can enjoy timeless music performed by the Eastern Symphony Orchestra. The director of the orchestra, Joseph Manfredo, has chosen selections of music that are appealing to everyone no matter the age.

“This is a special environment of light, romantic music which people have heard and know,” Manfredo said.

The evening will feature a special music solo by Edwin Ochsner, a junior music major. Ochsner, one of Eastern’s best music students, will perform a French horn solo, Manfredo said.

Ochsner is a member of several area symphonies, such as the Champaign-Urbana Symphony, Danville Symphony and the Sinfoniea de Camera.

Admission will be $3 for students, with their panther I.D., and $5 for general admission. For ticket information, call the music department at 581-3010.
