450 patrons hear the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra and Great River Chorale perform the Fauré Requiem with vocal soloists Karina Brazas and Alex Richie on March 19, 2016. Also performing on the program was the Grand Prize Winner of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra's 2016 Young Performers Competition, pianist Curtis Noecker. Mr. Noecker, a student at Saint John's University, performed the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 3 by Beethoven. Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Dr. Clinton Smith presented a pre-concert discussion that was attended by 87 patrons. The concert was performed by 65 instrumentalists and 50 members of Great River Chorale. The outcomes were measured by counting and recording the number of musicians, audience members, and pre-concert discussion and post-concert reception attendees. Post-concert feedback from the audience and musicians was enthusiastic. Everyone was very impressed with Mr. Noecker's performance and the concerto and Fauré received standing ovations.
