Six Wichita State University students will be featured in the upcoming WSU Symphony Concerto Aria Honors Concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, in Miller Concert Hall. The program, featuring music by Vivaldi, Strauss, Rimsky-Korsakov and Copland will be led by Mark Laycock, endowed professor of the School of Music.

Beginning with Aaron Copland’s “Outdoor Overture,” the concert will spotlight student soloists Maria Begacheva, cello; Anna Eberly, flute; Renee Macdonald, mezzo-soprano; Brandon Pauley, trumpet; Carolyn Ramseur, mezzo-soprano and Diana Wensley, trumpet.

Begacheva, an undergraduate from St. Petersburg, Russia, will perform “Meditation,” a soliloquy from Jules Massenet’s opera “Thais.” Eberly, a graduate student in flute performance from Muskegon, Michigan, will perform the first movement of Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s virtuosic Flute Concerto.

Graduate trumpet performance majors Wensley and Pauley will perform Antonio Vivaldi’s Baroque masterpiece Concerto for Two Trumpets. Second-year graduate student Ramseur will sing “Wie du warst!” from Richard Strauss’s comic opera “Der Rosenkavalier” and Macdonald will sing “Magda’s Aria” by Gian Carlo Menotti.
