Colby Sinfonietta to Perform March 15 On Saturday, March 15, the Colby College Sinfonietta will perform its debut concert. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Lorimer Chapel on the Waterville campus. Part of the 2002-03 Music at Colby concert series, the event is open to the public and free of charge. The program will explore the variety of styles and colors available in 20th-century literature. The concert program will feature works by four composers--Anton Webern's Variations for Orchestra Op. 30, Libby Larsen's Songs of Light and Love, with soprano Christina Astrachan, Toru Takemitsu's Rain Coming and Steve Reich's 8 Lines. The four works are seldom heard outside major metropolitan venues because of the extraordinary demands placed on the players, each of whom must essentially function as a soloist, says conductor Jonathan Hallstrom, associate professor of music. "All are exquisite and compelling and the concert promises to be a rare treat," he said. The Colby Sinfonietta, under the direction of Hallstrom, is an elite chamber orchestra comprised of the top student and professional performers from Colby's full symphony orchestra.
