Assistant Professor Paul Cummings will guest conduct "Prelude to Die Meistersingers" by Richard Wagner. ‘This staple of the orchestral repertoire features every section of the orchestra moving back and forth from melody to counterpoint, leading to a stirring finale,” Ayoob said.

Each fall HSU Music conducts its Concerto/Aria competition, which requires students to perform before a panel of judges as well as an audience of community members and fellow students. Three winners are selected, with the overall winner performing in the spring. This year’s winner is soprano Mindy Willens, who will sing "O luce di quest' anima" from the opera Linda di Chamounix by Donizetti, accompanied by the Humboldt Symphony.
