The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra will come to the UNC Charlotte campus for a free lunchtime performance at 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 5, in the Belk Theater of the Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts.

The concert’s kaleidoscopic program will include short sections from Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony, Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite” and "West Side Story." A contemporary piece by Michigan-based composer Kristin Kuster (b. 1973) and “Lyric for Strings” by the black American composer George Walker (b. 1922) also will be featured.

Christopher Lee will conduct, with guest soloist Eduardo Rios, violin. The 21-year-old violinist is a native of Lima, Peru, and the winner of the 2015 Sphinx Competition.

The College of Arts + Architecture is hosting this event for the campus community.
