The Salina Symphony will present an afternoon of Rodgers & Hammerstein at the Stiefel Theatre later this month.

The concert, under the baton of Dr. David Littrell, interim music director and conductor, is scheduled for 4 p.m. March 22, in the Stiefel Theatre, 151 South Santa Fe Avenue.

Tickets may be purchased at the Stiefel Theatre box office, by calling 785-827-1998, or online at www.salinasymphony.org. Single admission is $29/$39 and $20 for students/children ages five and up.

The orchestra, along with guest vocalists and choruses, will present songs from The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, The King & I, Carousel, South Pacific, and State Fair.

The symphony will be joined by Amy Rosine, soprano; Janie Brokenicky, soprano; Patricia Thompson, mezzo-soprano; Reginald Pittman, tenor; Bryan Pinkall, tenor; and Drew Horton, baritone.

“We’re featuring five fabulous soloists from the K-State vocal faculty as well as the Wamego High School choir director,” said Littrell. “I’ve had the honor of collaborating with these artists in the past, and Salina is in for a treat hearing them perform these beloved songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein.”

The concert will also feature the Salina Chorale, Kansas Wesleyan University Choral, and Salina South High School’s New Dawn Singers.
