Andover musicians with the Northshore Youth Symphony Orchestra will offer a chamber music concert on March 7 at 3 p.m.
Andover High students James Booth, Caylen Bryant, Katie Conti, and Tommy Yang, Doherty Middle School student Viviane Garth and Wood Hill Middle School student Katherine Geffken will play during this special concert at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 239 Woburn St., Reading.
Each year, students of Symphony Orchestra NYSO's most advanced ensemble break into 12 to 15 small chamber ensembles for string, wind and brass. The intermezzo orchestra students also audition for one quartet. Ensembles are coached by some of the finest musicians in the Greater Boston area, according to the NYSO. The students, representing the Merrimack Valley, North Shore, southern New Hampshire and Maine, will perform music of Bach, Telemann, Mozart, O'Connor, Haydn, Arnold, Schubert and others.
"Audience members will have an opportunity to hear the individual instruments of the orchestra and to see many of our young rising stars," reports the group. "...these musicians will participate in a program called 'Youth Serving through Music.' These chamber ensembles will perform outreach concerts to underserved groups in our community and for audiences with limited access to high quality classical music at assisted living centers, after-school programs, rehabilitation centers and hospitals."
NYSO offers four levels of orchestra, a wind ensemble, two flute choirs, a clarinet choir, and the Lawrence Youth String Ensemble. For more information call 978-986-2055 or visit www.nysorchestra.org.
