Their diverse program on Jan. 10 includes selections by such composers as Dvorak and John Williams. Several George Gershwin numbers are also included. Heimbichner joins the symphony on piano for Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. In addition to his other academic degrees, Heimbicher holds a degree in piano performance from the University of Southern California and has performed in many recitals on the West Coast.
