Spring 2019 Concert

Stick around at the end of Accepted Students Day to hear Rensselaer's own orchestra in its home, the spectacular EMPAC Concert Hall. This Spring, the Orchestra presents classics of the orchestral repertoire: Sergei Prokofiev's colorful suite of music from the film Lt. Kijé depicts the imaginary life of a Russian soldier brought into the world by way of clerical error. Tchaikovsky's rousing Slavonic March musically describes the rise out from under tyranny of an oppressed people. Finishing the program is Beethoven's grandest orchestral essay, his Symphony no. 5 in C Minor.

In the Fall of 2018, the Rensselaer Orchestra performed at New York City's Carnegie Hall. Hear why this flagship student ensemble has been so celebrated within the Rensselaer community.
