1/10/24 – Concerts

NORTHWOOD AREA CONCERT, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11TH, 7PM
On Thursday 1/11 at 7pm, our Wind Symphony will be performing in our annual Northwood Area Concert, bringing together students from Sierra Vista Middle School, Brywood and Canyon View Elementary Schools, as well as our Northwood Timberwolves! The groups will perform for each other and then share the stage in a heartwarming finale. It is such a special moment for our kids to reflect upon their musical journeys as they play side-by-side with middle school and elementary kiddos, and it gives all of those younger kids the chance to see what lies in store for their own musical future!  This is a free concert.

In order to minimize disruptions, please plan to arrive by 7:00pm and stay for the duration of the concert. Thank you!

SYMPHONY IRVINE COLLABORATION CONCERT, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12TH, 7PM
On Friday 1/12 at 7pm, our Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing in a very special collaboration with a professional orchestra – Symphony Irvine! Both our Philharmonic and the professionals will be giving their own performances – including the encore performance of an incredible composition by one of our NHS students, Ellie Hsueh! Then, much like how the middle and elementary school band students will be sharing the stage with our high school band the night before, our Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing side-by-side with the professionals on an incredible finale of Mussorgsky’s “Great Gate of Kiev” from Pictures at an Exhibition.  KMA vouchers are not applicable for this exclusive performance. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for students and senior citizens, and IUSD employees are free with ID.

In order to minimize disruptions, please plan to arrive by 7:00pm and stay for the duration of the concert. Thank you!

CONCERT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We are in need of a few volunteers to help with this week’s concerts. Please sign up HERE if you are able to help. It would be best to volunteer for a performance in which your student is not performing, but if you do, admission will be complimentary and we will ensure that you do not miss your student’s performance

A huge, heartfelt thank you to all of you!
