The choir and orchestra, directed by Dr. Ryan Olsen, combine to perform “Anne Frank: A Living Voice” by Linda Tutas Haugen.

Using Frank’s own words, the piece goes through a range of emotions from fear, confusion, heartbreak, hope, and even the optimism and joy of a young adolescent. Often performed with a string quartet, this is the first time that the piece will be performed with a chamber string orchestra. Viola Professor Margaret Miller joins the orchestra, directed by Leslie Stewart, for Hindemith’s Trauermusik.
