The concert I selected to view was the Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Orchestra, that performed on April 21, 2018. The orchestra was directed by Dr. Carol Nies, and the orchestra consisted of students studying at MTSU in different music programs and some faculty members. There were four songs played during the performance: Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Variation on an Original Theme Op. 36 IX Nimrod, Pirates of the Caribbean, and finally Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36.
