HAMMOND - The spring performance of Southeastern's Chamber Orchestra will feature the internationally acclaimed Kaleidos Duo, a pair of Balkan artists said to champion some of "the world's best-kept musical secrets."
Scheduled Thursday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts in downtown Hammond, the concert titled "Bernstein, Beethoven, and Bravos!" will also feature several solo performances by accomplished Southeastern student musicians, said conductor and Professor of Violin Yakov Voldman.

Kaleidos Duo, made up of violinist Miroslav Hristov and pianist Vladimir Valjarevic, will perform Double Concerto for Violin, Cembalo and string orchestra F Major by Austrian composer Franz Joseph Hayden.
"It is a true privilege to present Vladimir Valjarevic and my former student Miroslav in a performance for our North Shore audiences," said Voldman. "They have made a name for themselves – as a duo and as solo performers – for their imaginative musical programs. This promises to be a truly inspiring performance."
Miroslav has served on the faculty of the University of Nuevo Leion in Mexico and is currently a violin professor at the University of Tennesee School of Music. Valjarevic is on the piano faculty Mannes College in New York and at Rutgers University. Both have recorded on Centaur Records.
Voldman said the concert will open with Max Bruch's Romanze Op. 85 featuring graduate student Iuliia Alyeksyeyeva of Kherson, Ukraine on the viola. Cello Concerto in C major by Austrian composer Franz Joseph Hayden will be performed with Se Ryung Chung on the cello. A native of South Korea, she is a sophomore studying cello at Southeastern under instructor Dan Cassin. In addition, Southeastern graduate Dana Hudson of Delhi, La., will perform solo on the flute in Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor.
The concert will also include Leonard Bernstein's Candide Overture and Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven.
