Farewell Concert

Come watch us perform TODAY at 7:00 at Olbrich Botanical Gardens! It’s our farewell concert before we go off to Argentina. We will be playing Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to Candide, Billy the Kid Suite by Aaron Copland, Dwayne S. Milburn’s Liturgical Scenes, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F minor, and “Malambo” from Estancia Suite by Alberto Ginastera—all of which we will be playing on the tour. Pictures of the Farewell Concert will be posted on the blog. Hope to see you there!

Excitement at First Rehearsal

My name is George Cao. I am one of the chaperones on the WYSO Argentina tour and also will take photos and videos as a group photographer. Two days ago, Sunday 7/21, our group met at a Pizza party. Chaperones and WYSO members got a chance to greet and know each other better. Also, everybody got a cool tour t-shirt, which will be worn mainly at our departure and return. Our group seems excited about getting ready for the tour. Last night was also the first orchestra rehearsal with conductors Mr. Smith and Mrs. Eckel. Here are some photos at the event.
