Heck of an Audition

On this week's Prairie Performances, Friday night at 7 pm on WILL-FM 90.9:

We hear the audition concert of Sergey Bogza, who won the appointment as the new conductor of the Millikin-Decatur Symphony replacing Michael Luxner, who retired after twenty years of service.  The concert features soprano Amy Mazzeo, and pianist Jared Rixstine, two students from Millikin University. We welcome Maestro Bogza and look to forward to many more fine concerts.
