The Flagler Youth Orchestra performs its second concert of the 2009-10 season on Monday, March 15, at 7 p.m. at the Flagler Auditorium in Palm Coast. Conductor Jonathan May will lead three orchestras with more than 250 string musicians — a cross-section of public, private and homeschooled students. The program will feature music by Vivaldi, Brahms, and Gluck – and their more contemporary descendants: Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Cold Play.
Tickets are available at the Flagler Auditorium box office or by calling (386) 437-7547. Adult tickets are $5.00. Children 17 and under get in free. Proceeds help underwrite instrument scholarships and repairs, concert productions and instruction. The Flagler Youth Orchestra is made possible by the Flagler County School District, with the support of the Friends of the Youth Orchestra, whose sole mission is to provide free music education after school to all Flagler children with a desire to play an instrument.
For more information on the concert, how you can show your support of this performing arts program or to enroll your child in the strings program, contact Cheryl Tristam, program director, at (386) 263-2543 or by email at Cheryl@flagleryouthorchestra.org.
