Philharmonia Northwest is proud to announce our Community Outreach Initiative projects for 2013! We are very excited about these upcoming events and want to invite you and your students to get involved with the Philharmonia Northwest!
Our concert calendar for the remainder of the 2012-2013 is as follows:
February 2, 7:30pm
March 10, 2:30pm
April 21, 2:30pm
We are extending an invitation to all local school choirs to perform with us on our February 2nd concert at the University of Washington's Meany Hall! The school choir will be featured on the Prelude concert, which precedes the orchestra concert and takes place in the lobby of Meany Hall at 6:30. There is also the possibility of a performance by a smaller vocal group during the Intermission - please contact us for further information. Students will receive free tickets to the orchestra concert and a wonderful opportunity to perform in one of Seattle's most prestigious venues.
We are also extending an invitation to high-level string players under the age of 18 to participate in a side-by-side performance of Benjamin Britten's Simple Symphony on our March 10th concert at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from the talented musicians of the Philharmonia Northwest and to perform Britten's work for string orchestra.
Students chosen for this project must be able to attend all rehearsals, including the dress rehearsal. Rehearsals take place at North Seattle Community College from 7:15pm-9:45pm and will be held on February 12th, 19th, 26th, and March 5th. The dress rehearsal will take place the morning of March 9th.
Finally, we are inviting local school jazz bands to perform on our April 21st concert at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. The jazz band will be featured on the Prelude concert, which precedes the orchestra concert and will take place at 2:30. There is also the possibility of a performance by a smaller ensemble during the Intermission - please contact us for further information. Students will receive free tickets to the orchestra concert and a wonderful opportunity to perform a great Seattle venue.
If you have any further questions about these opportunities, please contact Daria Binkowski, Community Outreach Coordinator, at philnweducation@gmail.com. More information about our concerts and the Philharmonia Northwest can be found at http://www.philharmonianw.org/
We look forward to hearing from you and working with your students!
