The concert will showcase the skills of students from both institutions, including those in the shared undergraduate music program.

“The Temple community has always been blessed with a close community and an even closer group of people who love and appreciate the value of music,” Brumbach said. “For our community to have the best of both [experienced and emerging musicians] is inspiring, and we call upon our friends and neighbors to come out and support the performers that evening.”
