The Honors Music Concert, as it is called by the Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe, will be led by two college conductors. They are: Robert W. Smith of Troy University and Russell L. Robinson of University of Florida. Joining them will be Valerie Weber of Wiesbaden, who will work with the string ensemble.

Tickets for the 7 p.m. performance may be purchased at the door of the Wiesbaden Kurhaus. The fee for adults is 8 euros, while students pay 3 euros. Children under 10 will be admitted free.

Last blast of winter expected for GermanyDon’t break out those spring clothes just yet.

Gusting winds and snow showers — with accumulations of 3 to 5 inches in higher elevations and 1 to 3 inches in lower areas — are expected across Germany from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon.

The amount of snow depends on where an approaching front hits and how much it strengthens, said Senior Airman Micaela Blain, a forecaster with the 21st Operational Weather Squadron.

“It’s kind of like the last hurrah for winter,” Blain said.
