The program will include works by Beethoven, Manuel de Falla, and Stefan Freund. “divertennmento” for string orchestra, was commissioned and premiered by the University Orchestra in 2009 as a part of a Center Stage residency with composer Stefan Freund. “I think it’s great that we have a work written specifically with us in mind and I enjoy performing it with each new generation of students at Tech” says Orchestra Director Dan Allcott. “Stefan was born in Memphis, and as you might expect, this work reflects on three important types of music in Tennessee: Country, Blues, and Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
The concert is free of charge and open to the public.
The University Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Dan Allcott, is comprised of students from across campus and various disciplines. It is open to orchestral stringed instrument players with previous experience. Wind, brass, and percussion players are assigned by Tech professors of those instruments.

Certain names and identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals. Fictional characters have been added, and liberties have been taken that differentiate this work from the true-life events. The musical is a theatrical re-imagining of the story and horror of the case and those who suffered in its wake.
