A group of five Kansas Wesleyan University students has been selected to perform as part of the Kansas Intercollegiate Orchestra.
The performance is part of this year’s Kansas Music Educators Association event Thursday-Saturday in Wichita.
Abigail Ramos (Garden City), Aubreigh Heck (Hutchinson), Maria Stanislow (Junction City), Luke Moore (Garden City) and Alex Burns (Fort Collins, Colo.) were selected by audition for the prestigious ensemble, which features collegiate string players from across Kansas.
“Each of these five has tremendous talent, but more than that, they each represent the work ethic it takes to truly manifest that talent,” said Leonardo Rosario, director of strings at KWU. “This is a well-deserved honor, and I look forward to seeing what all of the students accomplish moving forward.”
The ensemble will be conducted by James Mick of Ithaca College (N.Y.), conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
