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.
This concert is partially made possible through the CNY Arts Grants for Regional Arts and Cultural Engagement regrant program thanks to a New York State Senate Initiative supported by the NYS Legislature, the Office of the Governor and administered by the New York State Councill on the Arts.
