Angelina Seamster to be featured on cello at MSO’s final concert of season

Manassas Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of James Villani, Music Director, will conclude its subscription concert series on Saturday, May 7 at 7:30 PM, at the beautiful Hylton Performing Arts Center.

Angelina Seamster, Colgan High School Senior, will be the featured cello soloist performing Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major. Miss Seamster participates in the Fine and Performing Arts program at Colgan High School, and has been performing with the MSO since she was in the 8th grade.

The MSO has provided the opportunity to play in the orchestra to many exceptional high school students over the past several years, but she was the youngest.  She has also performed with the American Youth Philharmonic in Fairfax, VA.  Angelina currently studies with cellist Kenneth Law. She will attend the State University of New York at Fredonia to study cello performance and history starting in August. 

The concert program also includes Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copeland featuring the MSO Brass, and Beethoven’s favorite Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93. 

Season subscriptions and individual concert tickets are available from the Hylton Center Box Office or by calling 888-945-2468. All children and student tickets (through college) are free.
