Peabody students present a classical triple treat

Associate Conductor and Choral Director Edward Polochick hits the musical trifecta Wednesday as he leads three groups — his Peabody Concert Orchestra, the Peabody Singers and the Peabody-Hopkins Chorus — in a holiday concert showcasing the works of three geniuses of classical composition: Handel, Beethoven and Bernstein.

“The [program] covers beautifully everything that needs to be fulfilled by the students on a conservatory level,” said Polochick. “They get three different periods of music to work on: Baroque, classical and 20th century.”
