As part of Scholarship and Creative Arts Day at Elizabethtown College, the Department of Fine and Performing Arts will present a concert on Monday, April 23 at 7:30 pm in Leffler Chapel and Performance Center. The event will feature musical and dramatic performances from students in the department and will last approximately 75 minutes.

Saxophonists Zachary Link and Dan Tschop will perform recent works by Lawson Lunde and Bernhard Heiden. Singers Alex Ochs and Anna Matlack will perform songs in English by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Carlisle Floyd. Pianists Shannon O'Leary and Bryant Suksiritarnan will perform Chopin's "Ocean" Etude and Liszt's "Un Sospiro" [A Sigh], two favorite works of the Romantic piano literature. Violinist Rachel Lane and pianist Erinn Soltys will play Fritz Kreisler's entertaining encore piece entitled "Syncopation."

The rest of the program will be devoted to works for larger groups. Six theatre students will perform the opening scene from "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes, a play whose bawdy humor and themes of social justice make it relevant 2,400 years after it was written. The sixteen members of the a cappella vocal group Camerata will sing "A Boy and a Girl" by Eric Whitacre. The program will end with two numbers by the Elizabethtown College Horn Ensemble.
