Two music majors, Christopher A. DeFreeuw, a senior from Suffolk, Va., and Joshua P. Layton, a senior from Greenwood, Del., will serve as student conductors. DeFreeuw will conduct “Dancing in Air” by Yo Goto and Layton will conduct “Hambone” by Libby Larsen.
The concert is free and open to the public.
