CLINTON — The Hamilton College Department of Music presents concerts by the Hamilton College Orchestra and Hamilton College Choir on Sunday, March 5 in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center on the Hamilton College campus. The orchestra presents its annual Brainstorm! concert at 2 p.m. followed by the choir in its Spring Break Tour Send-Off concert at 4 p.m.

Conducted by Heather Buchman, the HCO presents the music of Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Utilizing the new organ in Wellin Hall, the orchestra will look at the most celebrated piece for organ and orchestra, Camille Saint-Saën’s “Symphony No. 3, the Organ Symphony,” with guest organist Dominic Fiacco. Also on the program is Lili Boulanger’s “D’un Matin de Printemps (Of a Spring Morning),” composed shortly before her death at the age of 24.

Following the orchestra, the Hamilton College Choir, conducted by Charlotte Botha, presents the send-off concert of their spring break tour. Returning to the tradition of touring over spring break, the College Choir will visit North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Both concerts are free and open to the public. For more information call the box office at 315-859-4331 or visit www.hamilton.edu/performingarts.
