The UW-Stevens Point Symphony Orchestra’s concert, themed “Pictures at an Exhibition,” is at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, at Michelsen Hall in the Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage St., Stevens Point. The orchestra will perform Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” as well as two works by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, “Finlandia” and “Andante Festivo.” The orchestra is directed by Andy Moran, assistant professor of horn and orchestral director.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for UW-Stevens Point students, faculty and youth and free the day of the concert for students with a UW-Stevens Point I.D. if not sold out.
