Dear GYSO&C Students and Families,

FacebookIt was wonderful to have you all back last week, in spite of the somewhat icy conditions. It's time to buckle down as we only have 6 (!!!) rehearsals until our concert on February 28th!!! As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. Also, please see below for a change to the schedule on FEBRUARY 7 (Superbowl Sunday).

Best,

John

Concerto_CompetitionA little BirdieThird Annual Concerto Competition

Open to GYSO&C members only, this competition is just another way to gain valuable experience in auditioning. Some students will be selected to perform with the CSO and or GYSO&C Symphony, but the most important item is the opportunity to learn from the audition process.  Members may perform on their primary instrument or another instrument (including voice and piano) provided that the work performed is originally written for soloist and orchestra.
