The Wichita State Symphony Orchestra welcomes guest artist Jeremy Kittel, violin, for a concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9 in Miller Concert Hall. The orchestra will join Kittel in performing several of his original compositions along with “Ashokan Farewell,” the moving theme from PBS’s “The Civil War.”
Kittel is a Grammy-nominated violinist, fiddler and composer whose work crosses genres from folk and jazz to Celtic and classical. His orchestral piece “Stones River,” commissioned by the Orlando Philharmonic, was praised by the “Orlando Sentinel” as “haunting… beautiful… a moving and uniquely American composition.”
An advocate for music education, Kittel regularly leads workshops and masterclasses at Berklee College of Music, Belmont University and programs worldwide.
Tickets are available through the College of Fine Arts Box Office.
