Anchorage Civic Orchestra Concert Friday Will Feature Two Outstanding High School Soloists

Dane Breitung, a junior, will perform Claude T. Smith's Fantasia for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra.  Here is a performance of the original version for alto saxophone and wind ensemble:


Keeon Guzman, a senior, will perform the Finale from Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto:


I feel privileged to be leading the accompaniment of these two hard-working, vivacious young performers.
