The California Youth Symphony is pleased to continue our very popular March Festival Concert series, at which we feature our Intermediate String Ensemble under the direction of Kati Kyme, the Wind Symphony under the direction of Pete Nowlen, and the CYS Associate Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Eylar. Maestro Nowlen will lead the Wind Symphony in an ambitious program including works by Butler, Chan, and McBeth. The Associate Orchestra is delighted to spotlight our Concerto Competition winner Kayla Lee as she performs Wieniawski’s dazzling Scherzo Tarantelle. The orchestra will also offer the first movement of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 5, the Raiders March from Raiders of the Lost Ark, plus music by Berlioz and Saint-Saëns. The CYS Intermediate String Ensemble will feature works by Beethoven and Mozart. Our Festival Concert is a wonderful opportunity to experience the full gamut of the California Youth Symphony’s rich and varied musical program. Don’t miss it!
