The Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Barbara Specht, is bringing a special concert to Trinity United Church of Christ on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 8:15 p.m.

Highlighting the concert will be Vivaldi’s Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon. Featured solo performers will be adjunct music faculty members Andreas Oeste (oboe) and Eric Rutherford (bassoon).

The concert also will feature works by Mozart, Dvorak, Bach and Handel.
