Two students from the renowned Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College will present a free music concert at Trinity Altoona, Sunday April 22 at 3PM.
Nicolas de Groot is a piano major at Sunderman Conservatory. He started his musical studies in a hodge-podge fashion, taking up piano, violin, flute, bassoon, composition, and music theory through his childhood. As a freshman, Nico won the Sunderman Conservatory’s Concerto Competition.
Marana Tso, a sophomore, has a double major of biochemistry and molecular biology and violin at the Sunderman Conservatory. A member of the Gettysburg Symphonic Orchestra, Marana currently serves as their Concertmaster. She is a winner of the 2017 Sunderman Conservatory Concerto Competition.
Their program will include Sonata No. 1 in G minor, Fugue by J.S. Bach; Suite in A minor by Jean-Philippe Rameau; Piano and Violin Sonata in A major by César Franck; and
Zigeunerweisen by Pablo de Sarasate.
Funding for the concert is being provided by the Dr. William Sunderman Endowment, so there is no charge for admission. Sunderman is a deceased member of Trinity Lutheran Church.
Light refreshments will be served after the concert.
