Southwest Band Shell Performances 7:00 pm May 16 to 26th

Evening Southwest Families and Friends:

I hope that you will join us for the Annual Lake Harriet Band and Orchestra Concert on Monday May 16th at 7pm.  126 of your favorite instrumentalists will be performing music that they have been working on for a few months and they are sounding great!

We will be honoring 34 seniors along with awarding the annual John Phillip Sousa and National Orchestra Teachers Association to the top senior in each ensemble.  Of special interest will be the winning performance of our 2nd Annual Spring Soloist Competition, senior Sarah Edinburgh, who will be performing the first movement of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor accompanied by the Southwest Symphony Orchestra.

 Another cool part of the concert will be the Chamber Orchestra performing the Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 without a conductor - hope it doesn’t go too well or I’ll soon be out of a job!

Please join our department all week at the Band Shell, you won’t be disappointed!
