Maestros Eylar and Kyme close the CYS String Ensembles and CYS Associate Orchestra Seasons with a program guaranteed to please and dazzle listeners. Maestro Kati Kyme will direct the Junior and Intermediate String Ensembles, with musicians ranging in age from 7-16, in exciting performances from Vivaldi, Holst, Borodin, Haydn, and others! The Associate Orchestra will feature Evelyn Wang, our flute soloist winner of the Associate Orchestra Concerto Contest, who will perform Cécile Chaminade’s evocative and impressionistic Concertino for flute and orchestra. We will also be spotlighting AO percussionist Apple Gao, who will be performing the rarely heard Russian Marimba Concerto by Sergei Golovko, a tour-de-force of virtuoso writing for both soloist and orchestra. The orchestra will close the season with selections from Prokofiev’s masterpiece ballet Romeo and Juliet, the ever-popular Danzon No. 2 by Arturo Márquez, and Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain.
