<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Robert Beckstrom, the orchestra's music director, has chosen three engaging pieces. The concert will begin with Igor Stravinsky's clever Jeu de Cartes (Game of Cards)
which was composed in 1936 as a ballet. The original ballet had the dancers costumed depicting a card game. His music has hints of familiar works as if they are seen in a broken mirror. It is both sophisticated and fun-loving.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Elyria's own, Allison Roza Evans is returning home as the featured soprano soloist in Sanuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer 1915. Composed in
1948, this piece is a setting of the James Agee text that recalls an evening in his childhood, told from the child's point of view. The music is distinctly American. Evans, an Elyria High School graduate, is an accomplished soprano with vocal degrees from
the Boston Conservatory. She is currently based in Chicago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The evening's finale will feature Edvard Grieg's Norwegian Dances, Op 35. Originally a piece for two pianists, the work's four lively dances demonstrate the composer's
gift for creating engaging tuneful music. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
