Russian composer and pianist Sergei ….

Russian composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff considered the work, composed when Grieg was only 24, the “greatest ever written.”

Among the other challenging pieces DeRungs has scheduled are Verdi’s “Anvil Chorus” from “Il trovatore,” and three selections from Bizet’s “Carmen.” San Francisco-born soprano Carol Winston will sing the “Haberera” from “Carmen,” as well as the famous Gilbert and Sullivan aria, “The Sun Whose Rays.” Winston will also present short selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical theater works.

The orchestra will also present crowd-favorite “Bugler’s Holiday” by American composer Leroy Anderson, and a medley of U.S. military marches.

The June 7 concert will be held in Clubhouse 2 at 1 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted. Refreshments will be offered after the performance.
