“The program highlights a distinctly American take on orchestral music. The stylistic challenges presented by this repertoire takes our students from the traditionally classical/romantic genre into the modern popular style. Please enjoy the journey through some of the great music written for Broadway, Film, and American folk song.”–Wendy Stuart OYO Philharmonia Conductor
Also at this concert, OYO will be celebrating 35 high school seniors at their last performance. The featured seniors have performed with the Orchestras ranging from one to twelve years. We wish the students all the best on their future musical journeys.
