The GLCO strings are featured in music by William Grant Still, Morton Gould, Astor Piazzolla and others. The concert also showcases the winner of the Charles F. Davis Young Artist Competition winner, 15-year-old Karlie Thomas of Charlevoix. Karlie will play Scaramouche for saxophone and orchestra, by Darius Milhaud.
