OXFORD — The Miami University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ricardo Averbach, will give a joint performance some members of the Hamilton Fairfield Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Paul Stanbery, at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8, in Hall Auditorium.

The free concert is in honor of the ninth annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days, a month-long international network of concerts using the power of music to reaffirm a commitment to tolerance and humanity.

Free concert features both orchestras

The full two orchestras will come together for a free concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23, at the New Life Vineyard, 2470 Princeton Road, Hamilton. This concert will also include “American Salute” by Morton Gould and Weber’s Bassoon Concerto.

The Miami University Symphony Orchestra was recently named one of eight orchestra finalists for The American Prize, 2010. Averbach received The American Prize 2010 for conducting, College/University level.

Daniel Pearl was a journalist and accomplished musician. While on assignment for the Wall Street Journal, he was kidnapped and killed by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002, just four months after 9/11.
