Davidson Music Professor and Orchestra Director Tara Villa Keith
“Davidson Music Professor and Orchestra Director Tara Villa Keith recently passed the baton – literally – to the students in her spring conducting class. As the culmination of the semester-long class, the students directed the Davidson College Orchestra for a special public performance in the Duke Family Performance Hall, leading the roughly 50-member ensemble in performing repertoire from Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, Grieg’s Norweigan Dances and Peer Gynt, and Vaughan Williams’s English Folk Song Suite.”
