The Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra is hosting a reunion!
May 15 & 16, 2010
This two-day event culminates in the CSYO Spring Concert, Sunday May 16 at 3:30 pm at Halton Theater, Central Piedmont Community College. The concert features a performance of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, composed by former CSYO violinist Ted Gellar and narrated by former CSYO violinist Jessica McJunkins, and an exciting side-by-side performance of Saint-Saëns’ Danse Bacchanale with CSYO alumni. A reception follows.
Saturday May 15 activities include an afternoon rehearsal, a program exploring the stories behind Gellar’s fascinating work, and a party for current and past youth orchestra musicians.
Spread the word! Former youth orchestra musicians should contact Meg Whalen at megw@charlottesymphony.org to be added to the CSYO alumni list.
The Charlotte Symphony is dedicated to nurturing talent in young musicians.
Led by Charlotte Symphony violinist Dr. Ernest Pereira, the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra and Junior Youth Orchestra provide nearly 200 young musicians in the Charlotte region with superior music instruction and orchestral experience. Serving students from fourth through twelfth grades, the two youth orchestras rehearse weekly and receive intensive coaching from Charlotte Symphony musicians. They perform throughout the season.
Each August, students in the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra attend a 5-day residential camp sponsored by The Symphony Guild of Charlotte, Inc. Click here to see pictures from this year's camp at Converse College.
