Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon Alumni Celebration

Just a reminder about the YSSO Alumni Concert which will be held tomorrow evening, Tuesday, Dec 18, 7:30 PM at the Craterian Theater in Medford. This is a first-time event for the Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. See current YSSO students and distinguished alumni share the stage for around a one-hour show (perfect length for students!). Purchase tickets which include the reception if you would like to hang out with us and eat some great food afterwards.

I will be featured on viola as a soloist along with my best friend from childhood, Joanna Martin on flute. The music is Ernst Bloch's Concertino, a lovely neo-classical work from a 20th Century composer. Bloch lived his later life in Agate Beach, Oregon, and wrote this piece there.

To my students: yes, being featured as a soloist means standing in front of the orchestra in a fancy dress and playing my own part - it is a big deal. Come if you can!
