There will also be a special piano solo by Song of Lewiston’s tribute to Weatherford College which he titled “WC Trilogy.” The composition comprises three parts, with each representing a time period in the 150-year history of WC. The solo will be performed on a grand piano recently donated to the college by Jayne and Dan Curlee.
