Georgia Southern University’s Department of Music will present a special Valentine’s Day concert on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Foy Building in the Carol A. Carter Recital Hall.  The evening of music will feature the Georgia Southern Sinfonietta — Larisa Elisha, D.M.A., on violin, Maestro Adrian Gnam on oboe and Michael Braz, D.M.A., on harpsichord.

“We are so excited to present this special Valentine’s concert to the Statesboro community,” said Steven Elisha, D.M.A., director of the University’s strings program and the Sinfonietta. “There is no better way to touch hearts than through music, and the talents of Larisa Elisha, Adrian Gnam and Michael Braz will surely make this a memorable event.”

The Valentine’s concert program includes Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto in C Minor for Violin and Oboe, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4, “Adagio” from Boccherini’s Cello Concerto in B-flat Major and Mendelssohn’s Sinfonia No. 4 in C Minor.
