We are delighted to invite you to our next concert, on Saturday, May 30 at 7:00 p.m. at the Clinton Performing Arts Complex. This exciting program celebrates beloved orchestral works, rich cultural traditions, and the power of mentorship through music.

The Program:

Capriccio Brillante on the “Jota Aragonesa” – Mikhail Glinka

Andante Festivo – J. Sibelius

Waltz No. 2 from Jazz Suite – D. Shostakovich

Carmen Suite No. 1 and No. 2 – G. Bizet

Side-by-Side concert

This concert features side-by-side performance, which involves young emerging musicians, local high school string students, performing the same music shoulder to shoulder with seasoned professional players in the orchestra. This works to promote mentorship and community engagement. Students feel inspired being able to perform on stage with their mentors, networking, and creating lifelong relationships. Professionals get to experience the lively energy of young musicians along with the dynamic and spontaneous energy they bring to a concert. Please join us to encourage the youth of our community and take in what will be a magnificent performance.

Carmen and Company!
